ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
This movie is the worst kind of offender: it thinks its funny and clever, but it is neither. The filmmakers have mistaken banality for wit and silliness for humor, and that doesn't begin to address how visually clunky this motion picture is. Read full review

Happily was begun as an old-fashioned 2-D "flat" cartoon and then switched by producer John Williams (of "Shrek") and director Paul J. Bolger to 3-D during production. The style finally is an uncomfortable amalgam of both. Read full review

Even Eddie Murphy's endless hyper "Shrek" vamping is more entertaining. Read full review

Shrek this ain't. A lacklustre effort hampered by limp dialogue and lazy plotting. Read full review
