SHREK 2 COJO REVIEW 7-18-04
If you liked the original Shrek, you will enjoy part 2 if just for the familiar characters and the spoofs of other fairytales and movie parodies. Compared to part one though, this story is so thrown together and unnecessary. They made so much money with the first one, the studio execs decided that they must suckle every last drop out of Fiona, Shrek and donkey's teats before the characters could finally be cast off into the void of 2 for 11 dollar Walmart cheap plastic antitheft wrapped Supersized DVD special edition dvd bins.
Mike Myers (and the fact that he's so popular) makes me want to drill a hole in my head like that dude from the movie PIE. Is it just me, or does Shrek sound just like fat bastard, who sounds just like the dad Mike Myers played in So I married an Axe Murder, who sounds just like the damn Scottish characters Mike Myers played on SNL? G'damn 3 trick pony. If you are a die hard Myers fan, just watch him as Linda Richmond in a cat suit, in that abominable stinker THE CAT IN THE HAT, which for any Dr. Seuss fan, even the mention of the film is a sacrilege. Eddie Murphy dialed it in again with Donkey. He probably recorded his lines over a cellphone while he was wakeboarding in Fiji on DreamWorks' dime.
Just another day in the life of an Art Juggernaut.
