Surprisingly, comic-genius Myers is the weakest link in the packed cast. Shrek, who sounds sort of like Fat Bastard Lite, has few good lines, and it is Donkey who steals the show. In what may be Murphy's funniest role since The Nutty Professor (or Metro, but that was more of an unintentional thing), Donkey prances around the screen, firing off a stream of surprisingly funny jokes and comments.

...Nonzee was the producer's first choice after the success of Nang Nak. Jan Dara, the curious but ultimately doomed main character (played by Thai TV actor Eakarat Sarsukh), is abandoned from the start of his life: his mother dies during childbirth and his father brands him a bastard. (The boy's first memory of his father is watching him have sex with a nanny.) At 13, he is thrown out of the family home for supposedly trying to rape his stepsister. Nonzee's movie concentrates on Jan Dara's return to the house as a young adult to exact...

Clinton actually showed restraint with the pardons by not giving one to Michael Milken, Jonathan Pollard, Webb Hubbell and Ol' Dirty Bastard. And, if he had wanted, he could have fought to pardon himself. And that's the greatest pardon...
