Shrek 2

If you thought the first installment was a riot, wait till you see its sequel! You know you're not in for a typical computer animated movie when you have Lipps Inc's "Funkytown" in one of the movie's opening sequences and Fairy Godmother belting out Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For A Hero" in one of the many hilarious sequences. Shrek 2 follows its predecessor's trend in that it takes typical fairy tale characters and situations and subsequently blends and mashes them up with contemporary pop culture references and moments that leaves you in stitches all the way till the credit rolls! At times, I did find myself getting distracted from the storyline with all the gags and spoofs that were being thrown about (Pinnochio's rescue of Shrek from the Knights' keep ala Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible was priceless!). But all in all, Shrek 2 is good fun to watch and I really wouldn't mind going for a second helping of this sequel!
