Saturday evening we ventured out to the cineplex to see Shrek 2. Hilarious. Do yourself a favor and go see it. For one thing it has the benefit of a great cast: I mean, come on, John Cleese and Julie Andrews as king and queen of the kingdom? Inspired. And two notable scene-stealers are Antonio Banderas, as suave, swashbuckling Puss in Boots; and Jennifer Saunders, as a fairy godmother who has an agenda of her own (and can belt out a tune like nobody’s business). There are lots of quick jokes and sight gags (maybe we’ll just have to see it again, eh?), like their fairy-tale kingdom of Far Far Away as a kind of Beverly Hills and Hollywood for the Middle Ages, and the soundtrack is pretty good, too. Seriously, go. See. Now.

If you don’t mind seeing it again, when Kat and I get back from San Francisco, the four of us could go see it.
I nearly squealed with delight when the Fairy Godmother opened her mouth and the voice of Edina Monsoon came out! I love Jennifer Saunders in ANYTHING she does. Too bad they didn’t get Dawn French or Joanna Lumley to do a cameo voice in there, too…
