    "As someone who both likes movies and babysits I really do not think Shrek has aged well. This movie is the source of so many of the irritating and lazy tropes that modern kids movies use, dance party ending for one, that I cannot watch this movie without ending up angry. Plus the jokes haven't aged well either and most of the humor is parent targeted which isn't really fun for anyone anymore."

    "Shrek has been a cult classic, and for good reason. It's one of those kids movies that people of all ages can enjoy; the parents can watch along with their kids (and then re-watch again). The humor is just something all ages can appreciate. I've watched Shrek (and the sequels) many times, and it's actually one of my favorite animated movies. Go watch it!"

    "Shrek is a great classic animated film that not only has elements for children to enjoy but adults will also get a kick out of it. While some of the jokes are somewhat rude and juvenile, they're easy to overlook (unless you're a kid, in which case you'll love them) and don't at all detract what otherwise is a great movie."

    "Shrek is a great movie, poking fun at itself as well as it's characters. THe best thing about Shrek is that there's a lot of in jokes and adult references that kids will totally miss but adult viewers will really appreciate. One of the classic animated movies of the time period."

    "I love this movie because it takes what people see as a "ugly " and "mean" character and makes him a hero. I also love the other characters like donkey and Fiona and the ending makes people and kids see that it is not always about beauty, it is about what is inside."

    "I am almost always looking for the best movies to watch with my kids on Netflix. A good but flawed one is Shrek. I found the movie quite funny in several parts. However, it lacked the charm of many Pixar movies which made it a bit more dull and lackluster to me."

    "Shrek is one of the best animated movies with brilliant humor. I like how its is full of parody of numerous fairytales and has the best humor. Yeah i am already a grown man but whenever i watch this with my younger siblings i cant help but crack up."
