The magic of a lover's kiss.

Rating: 7/10 (22 May 2010)

Not too arguably the most endearing animated series, Shrek reaches its final chapter in SHREK FOREVER AFTER. The franchise has been very good for Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas. The original was pure bliss and really encouraging to look forward to what would follow. Unfortunately the second and third episodes gradually got worse. The fourth installment is not as magical as the original, but a whole lot better than the two middle flicks. Being in 3D may have been and enticement, but this is Shrek. Far, far away is in for some changes as the green ogre becomes complacent and temporarily not happy with his marriage and fatherhood. He makes a deal with the shady Rumpelstiltskin(Walt Dohrn)to trade off a day of his childhood, not knowing that he gives away the day of his birth. True friends Donkey and Puss are instrumental in bringing Shrek and Fiona back together... forever after.
Others lending voices: John Cleese, Jane Lynch, Mike Mitchell, Lake Bell, Meredith Veira, Ryan Secrest, Larry King and Julie Andrews. And what would a Shrek movie be without the tunes? This time we hear from The Carpenters, The Beastie Boys and Stevie Wonder. A very nice and positive way to say farewell to a franchise.
