    for Halloween, we dressed up like French people, made a galette and some crepes, turned our TV to black and white, and watched Shrek in French with subtitles for a long-planned French Shrek night. What have I learned by watching Shrek as if it were a Godard film? Absolutely…

    Worst movie ever created. Liking this movie means you support child labor, are a flat Earther, and smell like Fiona’s panties. You probably shower naked too which is just shameful.

    So full disclosure I put this on because I was making a TikTok and wanted to show a clip of this. And then I just sorta left it on and I watched. Hadn’t watched in many years and my god this is perfect. Plenty of humor for “adults” (I’m an adult now 😢) 🫏🧅💚🐉🏰

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

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