Editorial Review:
The cranky beast with a heart of gold returns to the big screen in this sequel to the computer-animated smash hit Shrek. After massive green ogre Shrek (voice of Mike Myers) and his new bride Princess Fiona (voice of Cameron Diaz) return from their honeymoon they receive an invitation to visit Fiona's parents King Harold (voice of John Cleese) and Queen Lillian (voice of Julie Andrews) who are the monarchs of The Land Far Far Away. However the king and queen are more than a bit alarmed to discover their new son-in-law is a monster the color of algae and that their daughter's little problem with a magical spell gone wrong has turned into a full-time skin condition. Certain this isn't the sort of "happily ever after" they dreamed of for their daughter King Harold decides to take Shrek out of the picture and return Fiona to her former beauty with the help of Prince Charming (voice of Rupert Everett) the Fairy Godmother (voice of Jennifer Saunders) and ogre-slaying feline Puss in Boots (voice of Antonio Banderas). Shrek 2 also features the voice of Eddie Murphy returning as Donkey as well as Larry King as an Ugly Stepsister.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating: N/A UPC: 097361248219 Manufacturer No: 124821
Description of Shrek 2 (Widescreen) / Shrek 3D - Party in the Swamp:
The 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
Shrek 2 (Widescreen) / Shrek 3D - Party in the Swamp Reviews:
Funny 
2008-09-25 - I loved the comedy aspect of this film. The music was also good, just like the first. This, like the first Shrek, will go down in history as one of the best animated films in history.
Even better than the original.
2008-06-25 - Shrek 2 takes what was great about the original and turns it way up.
The action, the humor, the story is way better than the first one.
The animation is even better.
The story is cute and heartfelt without being corny.
Another winner in the Shrek series.
Highly recommended.
This sequel isn't sweet. 
2008-06-23 - Shrek 2 was such a disappointment. I loved Shrek and waited anxiously to see the sequel but I just couldn't get into this one at all. It's pretty slow and choppy, the plot this time around is pretty lame. I am sure Shrek the Third is dumb as well, keep away from this stinker!
I guess some things must stop in order to retain value and significance... 
2008-06-19 - All things considered, this is very nice, inventive, cool and by all means terrific movie! But every idea has its limits. Less you say... more it leaves to imagination. I only hope this will not become another bitten to the death sequel...
Your House MUST own Shrek!
2008-06-18 - Shrek 2 is the perfect sequel to an ongoing [hopefully] series of Shrek movies. It is great for Adults and Children! I buy each one to keep them, while adding to my collection. If you haven't purchased your Shrek movies you better get started today! You will be so glad you did...
Shrek is hilarious for adults too!
