Today I went to see Shrek 2 again, but this time I dragged my parents along. They saw and really liked the first one. But they saw the second and thought it was just "okay", like they really didn't care for it. Also, this time I saw it, it seemed a lot less funny. The reason for that? The audience! We had a crappy audience. They weren't picking up alot of the jokes because the theater was full of kids that are barely old enough to talk. So they laugh at things like "Haha, he hit a wall." or "He farted". But they don't get the movie spoof jokes, or the adult humor. When I saw Shrek 2 on opening night I remember it being so holarious because the jokes were fresh and new, (always are the first time) but also because we had a good audience. Lots of teenagers and older people. So there was A LOT LOT more laughter. That laughter seems to add to the film..I don't know why, but when a theater is full of people laughing it seems alot more funny then a silent audience. It's hard to explain, but I wish that we had a 'better audience'.

[Yes it is possible that they just thought it was OKAY, but the audience really is a big factor]

Makes sense to me. I tend to laugh when other ppl laugh, whether its really funny or not, whether I get it or not (if it's not funny or I don't get it, it's actually more of a chuckle)

Yeah, go back and watch a bunch of Disney movies or something you hadn't seen in years since you were 2 and see how much stuff you never noticed or understood before. You'd be amazed.

Shrek 2 was a really good movie. Really great references and stuff. It actually seemed a bit odd to me that so many of the jokes were so mature. I didn't seem like half the kids in my theater would get them.

Also, watch a James Bond film when you're finally old enough to get everything. Wow!

Yeah, I saw that. My favorite part though was in the dungeon with Pinnochio.
