9.5/10. A great movie for the whole family. Just taking fairy tales and turning them upside down was a great idea. I'd say this is among 100 movies people should see before they die. Kids will love it as will their parents.
So weird.

More quotes from Shrek
Trivia: Shrek took more than four years to produce. One of the reasons it took so long was that Chris Farley had been cast as the voice of Shrek, but he died in late 1997 from a drug overdose in the middle of production. His lines had to be re-recorded by Mike Myers.
Question: In theatrical trailers, when the dwarves put Snow White on Shrek's table, he says "Dead girl off the table." In the real movie, however, "girl" becomes "broad", according to the subtitles. Is there a reason why?
Answer: Broad is just a slang word meaning Woman. It was historically a bad word, but now it's not.

Chosen answer: This is most likely because "broad" isn't too nice of a word, and children of any age could watch the trailer. Parents wouldn't want their children to copy inapropriate language, obviously.
