How could anyone prefer Shrek to Sex & The City

I guess it's because people took their kids to see it for the holiday. I actually haven't heard of most of the other films on the list.

It beats me Polly why they bothered making a first Sex And The City movie let alone a second?

I've never seen a Shrek film - and don't ever intend to !!

Sex & The City is definitely one for the ladies

I thought it was better than the second, also the Xmas Special based on the same movie. There was more chemistry between Murphy and Banderas than there was last time around.
