I'm an old dude, 75 to be exact, and in my working days I was everything from a mainframe programmer to a HiTech startup Tech Admin. This sentence is here only to show why I am interested in the productions of Dreamworks and, of course, Pixar. Coming from a computer background permits me to be very, very impressed with the wonderful skill and creativity that go into making movies such as Shreck.
Now then: The movie itself is marvelous! The characters are gentle and funny; there is no gratuitous violence; there are innuendos, of course, but skillfully done in a way that the "libretto" if you will can be "read" at least two levels. The story line itself is charming, and the ending is a real, nifty surprise!
I add here that I've watched this with my younger G_Kids, who loved it; and also with my bride of fifty years, who loved it.
It is in all ways in a class with the best that Mr. Jobs has so far produced, which is saying a great deal.
HIGHLY recommended as good, funny, charming entertainment for a whole bunch of ages.
