Shrek 2 – Review

There’s a body of ppl from the MP camp planning on going to see this during the hols – now I’m agonising over whether dd would cope. We’ve only done two cinema trips, and the first was amazingly disastrous (Little Polar Bear), with nightmares for weeks after, and the second (The Cat in the Hat), fortunately went mainly over her head. Should I hope for third time lucky?

Oh, and I suppose if we do want to go, we ought to see the first one?

  1. I think we might have the first one somewhere and can lend it to you if you like? It is *very* funny.

  2. Jonathan acquired us a copy of the second and he and I watched it. It is funny too, but there was quite a lot of more adult humour in it, and plenty of references that will go over young children’s heads. There is implied violence in it but nothing scary. We’re pretty conservative about what our children watch, and if you decide not to go, you won’t be all alone in the campsite 😉

  3. hmmm … difficult one – obviously our children are too used to sitting in front of long films/videos, and we’re on the more liberal side wrt what they watch! Sorry for providing you with a dilemma, but as long as there are little friends for A left at camp, it shouldn’t really matter whichever way you decide?

  4. Our kids mostly watch Disney but they have loved Shrek for over 2 years now (it was only scary the first time!)
    On the other hand, they saw it on the small screen, with light, so i was hardly scary circs really.

  5. I think we’ll probably skip it – too much risk (!) and there will be plenty of other stuff to do.

  6. Is now not the time to say that Elijah really wants to watch Kill Bill?

  7. Kill Bill, classy film! So are you going to let him watch it?

  8. Planning on taking Rowan to see Shrek2 ner his birthday – feel free to join us if you like!
