Shrek
It ain't easy bein' green -- especially if you're a likable (albeit smelly) ogre named Shrek. On a mission to retrieve a gorgeous princess from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon, Shrek teams up with an unlikely compatriot -- a wisecracking donkey.
Critics Sentiment
Shrek interrupts wedding and Fiona accepts her ogre form
Shrek overhears Fiona and believes she calls him ugly
The film recovers dramatically from its lowest point during Shrek's misunderstanding to its triumphant finale where true love conquers conventional beauty standards.
Shrek maintains consistently high audience approval throughout most of its runtime, with particular peaks during action-comedy sequences like the Robin Hood fight and the climactic wedding scene. The film's clever subversion of Disney tropes and Eddie Murphy's comedic performance earn widespread critical praise, with only minor dips during more conventional plot mechanics.
