Shrek 2 will get you laughing. Donkey is very funny because of the ways he annoys Shrek and Fiona. But he still is a good friend and helps them in some ways.

One character who is key to the story is the evil fairy godmother. At first you think that she's nice, but it turns out that she casts spells to influence love and hate. She gives the King (Fiona's dad) a potion that he is told to put into Fiona's soup. Even though he says he is looking out for Fiona, he is actually deceiving her.

Puss-in-Boots is another character who can fool you with his big, sad eyes -- but he has razor-sharp claws and a dangerous sword. Puss-in-Boots starts off as Shrek's enemy, but ends up as his friend.

The movie is about finding out who you trust and who you truly love. The movie is also about independence and how to think for yourself. We would rate Shrek 2 three and a half popcorns because it has a good message and humor for all ages.
