Fun character but he needs a sidekick

Rating: 7/10 (11 February 2014)

Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) is a wanted criminal, but he wants to clear his name. He plans to steal the magic beans from Jack & Jill, and use them to go to the Giant's home to steal the Golden Goose. He has a competitor in Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek) and Humpty Alexander Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis) from his past. Puss and Humpty used to be best friends in the orphanage.
Puss in Boots is a side character from the Shrek franchise. He's a good character to do his own movie. He has the charisma, and he has an interesting story. However I'm struck with the lack of a sidekick. Shrek has Donkey, but Puss has nobody. Humpty is more of a villain in hiding. There is always a constant threat of double dealing. It's not the same thing. Other than that, this has enough charm and a few funny jokes. A few more funny jokes would help, but that's where the comedic sidekick would help.
