NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) I may be biased here as i cannot stand Simon Cowell or his show, but I felt that "Shrek" really did not need this short film. Basically, all the characters from the movie get to see one song and Cowell comments on it as negatively as he always does. This 7-minute short film came out after the second Shrek film and adds really nothing. It's only worth a watch if you really love the franchise. The only good thing I can say about it is that all the actors from the films could actually be convinced to sing in this one and the version of Livin' La Vida Loca was fun as well early on. But that's really it. Director Simon J. Smith already did "Shrek 4-D" a year before and that was equally disappointing. And he directed "Penguins of Madagascar" very recently. I cannot comment on the quality of that one, but I am glad he did not direct a full feature Shrek movie. This American Idol spoof from over 10 years ago I cannot recommend.

NefariousDeuce Over all I quite enjoyed this movie. Better than the first one. I look forward to the third one myself. It was a well told story the voice performances were great the story line was funny the plot was interesting. It is a great movie for the whole family. If you haven't seen it yet rent it buy it either way you and your family will enjoy it. As for Far Far Away Idol I thought it to be a brilliant and funny addition to the film. The songs they chose were classic and fit the idea. My absolute favorite performance was done by Puss in Boots doing the song These Boots were Made for Walking. Hilarious couldn't have been funnier. Shrek and Fiona's performance was touching as well as hysterical. I have high hopes that the third movie can equal the wittiness of this film and the first. Over all rating 8/10!

klehde1 This add-on is certainly worth the few minutes it takes to watch. Each of the characters sings an appropriate song - Charming sings "I'm Too Sexy", Pinocchio sings "Mr. Roboto", and so forth. It's mostly an amusing few minutes. Here's the good and bad: Good: Antonio Banderas can sing, and Puss was the best part of the movie anyway. Donkey's "Disco Inferno" was funny - not as good as the "little mutant babies!" line during the regular credits, but funny nonetheless.Bad: Simon wasn't that funny. The only line that was remotely amusing was "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince...Charming". The other lines weren't funny, and they were delivered in an amateurish way.And the DVD doesn't make seeing all the endings easy. To choose a different character as the winner and see their ending, you have to watch the whole thing again. As far as I know, there are only 4 endings: Shrek/Fiona, Puss, and Donkey can win. Anyone else, and a singing double comes on as Simon declares himself the winner and belts out "My Way".Not bad. Certainly fun enough to amuse us as we watch.

TheOtherFool The whole Shrek 2 experience wasn't my taste anyway (I thought the original was way better), and this extra they put on isn't as funny either. It sure ain't of the standard of The Shrek in the Swamp Karaoke Party on the DVD of Shrek.All of the major characters can sing a song in this one, judged by no other than Shrek, Fiona and our very own Simon Cowell. But it all just seems so much less funny and spontaneous than the aforementioned Party in the Swamp. As Shrek 2, there's a serious lack of wit, enthusiasm and charm. Well, that's my opinion, anyway.If I had to rate this: 4/10.
