Daniel (Age 13) - ★★★
"This was an ok film.
Not as good as the original but that’s fine because nothing is.
The plot was decent and my favourite was shrek and my second favourite was Fiona.
My favourite part was the dinner scene because it’s funny when shrek burps."

Houston (Age 9) and Mum (reviewed at the Laurel & Hardy Double Bill) - ★★★★★
"Hippfest Laurel and Hardy...well, it was incredible. The live piano and percussion really set the scene in transporting you back in time.
There was a short explanation of the two films prior to the showing which explained how many films L&H did and when they hooked up with a Scotsman who starred in the film.
It was wonderful to hear the audience lol and all ages appreciating the experience.
Definitely worth it and would go again"
