Bottom-line: Funny twist in fairytale history

Review:This third installment, not to be confused with the Disney ride (Shrek 3D), found the Ogers adjusting to royal life and the passing of the Frog King, King Harold. On his death lily pad he told Shrek that there was another heir of the kingdom, but Shrek could still be up for the position of King. After trying out the role Shrek decided that it was not for him so he set out to locate Arthur, the rightful heir.

As he sailed off Fiona told him that she was pregnant and that lead to Shrek being forced to deal with his fears of added responsibility. As Shrek wondered if he would be a good father he needed to convince Author that that he’d make a great king. This movie was good but not as good as the first two films and nowhere near as good as the last installment. 7.5 blades and a B- for this film since it wasn’t a crapper.

blades: ★★★★★★★½☆☆
