This Shrek started out promisingly enough, but kind of fell flat. For some reason, this felt more like a television episode than a movie. However with that said, it still had enough fun moments to keep it afloat. The plot of this one is Shrek and Fiona are going to have kids. Shrek looks for a replacement king for Fiona's father, and travels to a high school to meet Arthur (Timberlake). Prince Charming and his bad guy goons take over the castle. All 3 plots are strung together to make the plot very diluted. One problem with this movie, is unlike the first two, it just didn't feel epic. It barely even felt like a fairy tale. The characters were also underused, including Donkey and Puss in Boots being there only to spout out one liners for no reason. Nonetheless though, it was fairly entertaining throughout, and most kids won't notice that this isn't at the level of the first, or even the second.
My rating: ** 1/2 out of ****. 84 mins. PG for crude humor and drug references.
