Thanks for the memories!
Purely Joyful Movie!
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
I don't like Christmas specials, any Christmas specials, but Shrek turned out to be exception. As he never celebrated Christmas and has no idea what it is at all, when he decides to organize Christmas for his family in last moment hilarious disaster is due to happen. Add Eddie Murphy as irritating Donkey and entertainment is guaranteed.7,5/10
Mildly amusing Christmas special with the usual quota of moral uplift and some nice jokes here and there.They could have done a lot more with the Shrek characters and some more adult oriented jokes would've been welcome. Such as it is, too much fartin' doesn't generate too much feelin'.Okay kiddie fare.More in the league of Shrek 3 than the two earlier installments. Watch out for the much funnier second television special taking place on Halloween.5 out of 10 enervating donkeys
If you took all the stock elements of a Shrek movie (grumpy ogre, annoying donkey, cute kitty, obligatory dance number, etc.), put them in a blender and condensed it to 20 minutes, you'd have this mess. Painful to watch; I may have laughed once. The story and dialogue are rushed beyond comprehension, with the voice actors sounding like they phoned in their lines. The final reworked rendition of "The Christmas Story" poem felt like it was written by a committee in five minutes. And boy, a little Eddie Murphy goes a long way. With its desperate attempt to be hip and current, this show will be long outdated and forgotten while classics like "The Grinch " will remain timeless. A sad waste of effort by all involved, a veritable "jumping of the shark" for the Shrek franchise.
Hey fellow Shrek the Halls watchers... I have reversed my DVR about 20 times and re-watched this section of the movie. My husband and I have a bet going on because we both swear he says two different things...When Gingerbread is talking to the Angel does he say -"Did you hurt yourself when you fell out of Heaven?" OR does he say "Did you hurt yourself when you fell out of the oven?"I've searched online trying to see if I can find this anywhere and have not found anything... I need someone to end our feud.. Please help!! The sooner we get an answer, the better, I'll be checking in!!
