Shrek 2

Rent & Buy
Happily ever after never seemed so far far away when a trip to meet the in-laws turns into a hilariously twisted adventure for Shrek and Fiona. With the help of ever-faithful Donkey, Shrek takes on the potion-brewing Fairy Godmother, pompous Prince Charming, and infamous ogre-killer Puss In Boots.
What critics thought
Shrek 2 landed as a broadly well-received sequel, with most critics finding it funny, inventive, and bolstered by colorful new characters. The main point of contention was whether it recaptured the freshness of the original — most said it didn't quite, but argued it didn't need to; a minority felt it actively squandered what made the first film special.

“bright, lively, and entertaining”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“better and funnier than the original”
Michael O'Sullivan·The Washington Post
“inventive and often very funny”
