Summary: 5 Stars
Shrek 2 is one hour and thirty-three minutes and was released on May 19, 2004. Shrek 2 picks up where Shrek left off. In the opening scene Prince Charming is on his way to rescue Princess Fiona. When he gets to the abandon castle the Big Bad Wolf tells him that Shrek and Fiona are on their honeymoon. When the two get back to the Swamp, Donkey is there to greet them. Also there to greet them is a royal messenger from Far Far Away. Fiona parents request that they come to Far Far Away so her father (King Harold) can give the two his royal blessing. Shrek is originally against the idea. In the end, Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey are off to Far Far Away. When the trio arrives at the castle of Fiona's parents, King Harold and Queen Lillian (her parents) are shocked to see their daughter as an ogre and not to have married Prince Charming, but Shrek instead. Queen Lillian goes out of her way to greet the two. King Harold on the other hand wants nothing to do with Shrek. That night King Harold heads to the Poison Apple and hires an ogre killer. When King Harold comes back to the castle he tells Shrek that he is sorry and asks him to go on a hunt with him the next day as a kind of get together. Actually this is a plot to kill Shrek. The next day Shrek and Donkey are in the woods looking for the giant old oak tree. While looking for that tree they are attacked by Puss In Boots-the ogre killer. However, Puss In Boots fails in his duty and Shrek eventually spares the cat life. Puss In Boots is indebted to Shrek and promise to stand by him until he can repay his dept. Shrek, Donkey, and Puss In Boots head over to the Fairy Godmother house to get a potion to make Fiona love him. When Fairy Godmother tells Shrek that ogres do not live happily ever after, Shrek decides to steal a potion. In the potion room he winds up stealing the potion Happily Ever After. Shrek and Donkey drink the potion and at first does nothing to them. The next day Donkey wakes up as a beautiful white stallion and Shrek a handsome human man. Also Fiona is turned back into her beautiful self. When Fairy Godmother learns of the theft and the potion that was stolen, she hatches a plan for her son (Prince Charming) to impersonate Shrek; since Fiona has not seen Shrek in his human form yet. Shrek arrives back at the castle to show Fiona his human form; instead Fairy Godmother traps him in a room and convinces him to do what is best for Fiona. Shrek looking out the window and seeing Fiona accepting Prince Charming (Fiona thinking Prince Charming is Shrek) reluctantly agrees and leave the castle. The trio is now at the Poison Apple drowning themselves in their tears when a stranger walks in the pub. Shrek seeing it to be King Harold seeks outside to find out what is going on. King Harold is there to ask the Fairy Godmother to call off the wedding. Fairy Godmother wants nothing to do with it and let him know that her son will marry the princess. When the trio hears that Prince Charming is the son of the Fairy Godmother the head off the tell Fiona the truth, but are instead capture and throw in a dungeon. The Big Bad Wolf, Gingy, Pinocchio, and the rest of the gang are watching this on the news and head out to rescue their friends. Once Donkey, Puss In Boots, and Shrek are free the gang head over the Muffin Man so they can bake him a giant ginger bread man named Mongo. The group head over to the castle and Mongo is able to get Shrek inside before he is killed. Shrek lowers the drawbridge and the gang head inside to stop the fateful kiss between Prince Charming and Princess Fiona. They group is partially successful in getting the magic wand away from the Fairy Godmother before her son is able to retrieve it and get it back to her. Fairy Godmother who is angry and is about to use her wand to kill Shrek, but King Harold who is wearing a armor breastplate, jumps in between Shrek and the wand and the magic bounces off the armor and hits the Fairy Godmother and killing her instantly. Fiona realizing the sacrifice that Shrek is willing to make decides not to kiss her true love a midnight and the both revert back to being ogres and Donkey is no longer a stallion. In a side note Mrs. Dragon gave birth to six mutated kids. I am giving Shrek 2 an AAAAA+++++.

Summary of Shrek 2 (Widescreen Edition)
Happily ever after never seemed so far away when a trip to meet the in-laws turns into another hilariously twisted adventure for shrek & fiona. With the help of his faithful donkey shrek takes on a potion-brewing fairy godmother the pompous prince charming & the famed ogre-killer puss in boots. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 08/23/2005 Starring: Mike Myers Cameron Diaz Run time: 92 minutes Rating: PgThe lovably ugly green ogre returns with his green bride and furry, hooved friend in Shrek 2. The newlywed Shrek and Princess Fiona are invited to Fiona's former kingdom, Far Far Away, to have the marriage blessed by Fiona's parents--which Shrek thinks is a bad, bad idea, and he's proved right: The parents are horrified by their daughter's transformation into an ogress, a fairy godmother wants her son Prince Charming to win Fiona, and a feline assassin is hired to get Shrek out of the way. The computer animation is more detailed than ever, but it's the acting that make the comedy work--in addition to the return of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz, Shrek 2 features the flexible voices of Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins), John Cleese (Monty Python's Flying Circus), Antonio Banderas (Desperado), and Jennifer Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous) as the gleefully wicked fairy godmother. --Bret Fetzer
