Parent's corner - Shrek 2 Reviews

I took my nephew, who is only 5, and wasn't sure about the PG rating. So for any who are worried and have their kids on a strictly G rating diet, here is what you will see/hear or might have to explain. 1) Shrek farts/burps etc. 2) Towns people chasing the couple with pitch forks 3) Lots of cartoon kissing 4) Shrek & Fionna in a mud tub 5) Puss in Boots get caught by the Knights (take off of Cops) with cat nip in a dime bag and says, 'That's not mine." My nephew didn't care about 3&4, didn't get #5 and our pre-movie talk covered potty humor and that it not something that should be praised. #2, you can explain the 'Why' question that may come and use it as your base to explain racism, homophbia and political parties. Overall, this movie is fine for kids, but truly lost of most. Those that were raised on all the Grimm Fairy tales will catcht a lot of the little signs and jokes. Kids, enjoy it on the big screen, adults rent the DVD.
