Critic Reviews

Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine
No one has ever made a funnier jackass of himself than Murphy.
-
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
What gives Shrek its special artistic distinction is its witty and knowingly sassy dialogue, delivered by vocally charismatic performers whose voices remind us of their stellar screen personae in live-action movies.
-
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine
The script, instead of being what we tolerate in order to savor the visuals, is a delight all by itself.
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
This is beautiful work.
-
Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today
An exuberant Eddie Murphy gives the comic performance of his career.
