It's SOOOOO good! I went to see it for the second time on Friday night after
work, and I laughed just as much as I had the first time around. It's just
hilarious! Of course, all my friends have agreed that I am Donkey, even
though all the Scottish people in St Andrews speak exactly like Shrek. Kudos
to Mike Myers for the accent, which only slips when he says "Really really?"

You lucky thing you! I was so hoping that the trailer would be shown before
the movie, but 'twas not to be. I guess I'll have to go see Atlantis (not to
mention Dr Dolittle 2) in the hope of seeing the trailer.

Surely movie theaters could make vast amounts of money by charging a buck or
two just to watch the trailer 10 times or so...

I'm SO going to get the DVD version of Shrek -- my lovely Cube can play
them, and there're always loads of great Bonus Features.

Plus I just LOVE the soundtrack.

Everyone go see it! Shrek's great!
