Shrek the Third

The wait is ogre!

When the King of Far, Far Away dies, Shrek is next in line to the throne; he refuses to shoulder the mantle and goes on a quest with Donkey and Puss in Boots to find the next man in line. There isn’t much left of the first film’s ingenious satire and the third chapter isn’t as funny as the predecessors. Instead we get to follow Shrek’s predictable path to maturity. Still, there’s enough here to make it a fun night for kids and adults alike; some of the fairy-tale spoofs are amusing. Once again, both Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas deliver as Shrek’s sidekicks, a very odd couple.

Remember This?

“I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the streets. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say: 'I'm a human being, god damn it, my life has some value!' So I want you to get up now. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it and stick your head out and yell 'I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!'”

Peter Finch (Network, 1976)
