Moviegoers are saying
Shrek emerges as a polarizing cultural phenomenon that has infiltrated everything from Leonard Cohen's legacy to French New Wave cinema experiments. Reviewers are split between nostalgic appreciation for its memorable dialogue ('THE MUFFIN MAN!') and concerns about its lasting impact on beloved music and internet culture, with some audiences going as far as staging elaborate French art-house screenings complete with black-and-white filters.

Desperately avoiding the risk of even a half-second of boredom, the movie is wall-to-window-to-door noise, babbling, and jokes.

It's wondrous, it's fabulous, it's -- all but unprecedented.

As innocent as a Disney movie -- and a lot more entertaining.
