Too many off color jokes and sexual inuendo - Shrek 2 Reviews
I attended a 6 pm showing which was attended by primarialy young families, mostly with fathers as the adult chaperone. The children were primarily 4 - 9 years old. I can say that only about 5 times did any of the audiance, mostly the adults, laugh during the entire movie.The few music selections were not as well matched to the scene they were with as in Shrek 1.The visuals were great.
However my biggest disappoinment and complaint was the regular sexual jokes or mannerisms said or performed by the main characters. This included a "crotch grabbing dance" a la Michael Jackson by Pinoccio. I know the movie included reinactments of many classic movies but can a movie be made for children that doesn't resort to either violence or sexual references? It cheapens the whole thing and religates the writer's into pre-teenager mentality rather the the adults I hoped they were.
Although entertaining this one will not find it's way into our family collection.
