Absolute best! I loved it so much! I have it on DVD and it is so good! My favorite Shrek. The only concern is the word "ass", which is brief and shouldn't bother anyone. Love it!

What Parents Need to Know
About Shrek 2
Parents need to know that this movie has some crude potty humor and some moments of mild peril and tension. The king hires a hit man to get rid of Shrek -- luckily it's a small cat. Shrek and friends steal potions from the scheming fairy godmother. The only casualties are an enchanted character and a couple of fish.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about struggles to get along. Why does the king really disapprove of Shrek? How are he and Shrek the same? Why does Shrek try so hard to change for his new family? Fiona's childhood room has images of handsome princes and princess all over it. Why does this intimidate Shrek? For the girls: do you have tiaras and princess toys in your room? What do you think of Fiona's decision to marry someone like Shrek instead of someone from her childhood dreams? Why do you think she'll be happier with Shrek than with Prince Charming?

A Truly Hilarious Sequel Much Better Than the Original!
VERY funny. One of my favorites. The only objectionable content are some mild innuendos and some mild language. Great for kids 8 and up. Highly recommended.

Finally - a sequel that's even better than the first
Sexual Content (Pause): A character may be a transsexual/transvestite/cross-dresser/etc. Pinocchio's nose grows when he says he isn't wearing ladies' underwear. Some innuendo. Violence (Not an Issue): Mostly comic. Language (Pause): Double play on the word "ass". Social Behavior (On): Fiona is a strong female character. Tolerance and accepting yourself are major themes of the movie. Some crude humor. Commercialism (Not an Issue): Parodies of actual places and products. Part of a huge marketing machine. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Not an Issue): Drug joke - but it turns out to be catnip.
- I rate this title on for age 5 and give it
Sexual Content (Pause): Lots of innuendo. Violence (Not an Issue): Comic peril. Language (Pause): Ass. Social Behavior (On): Shrek learns to accept himself. Commercialism (Not an Issue): Fake commercialism for fast food and other products. Shrek is part of a huge marketing empire. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Not an Issue): A brief drug joke, but it's really catnip.

Many iffy jokes are unnoticable...
Adults will notice most of this movie's sexually-related jokes, most of it from Puss In Boots. The rest isn't really a problem. In the violent situations, characters often recover soon, and it only is peril.

A horrible story about parents trying to force a divorce
Let's try not to subject our kids to the concept that it is acceptable to have a superficial society where divorce is the norm. Forget the cute aspects of this movie - it's a disgraceful theme and a horrible sequel to what was a great movie.

Gay cats?
Alright, Puss In Boot is not a homosexual. I'm watching the movie right now and there is absolutely no dig at him. And the Ugly Stepsister is an UGLY STEPSISTER. Not a crossdresser. It's a brilliant movie. I like it better than the first one.
