Jun 5, 2010  I took my kids to see the new Shrek movie, and we all had mixed opinions of it. The youngest really liked it, I thought it was OK, and my older teenage son didn’t like it. The 3D was really cool, though. We all agreed on that. The music wasn’t as good as in the other Shrek movies, in my opinion.

They played AC/DC Highway to Hell, which was good, but I recently saw the Percy Jackson movie and that song was in that movie, too. That is enough Highway to Hell, Hollywood. We get it.

Some younger kids might think the witches are a little scary, and Rumpelstiltskin is a little jerk. The movie was rated PG for mild action, some rude humor and brief language.

After challenging an evil dragon, rescuing a beautiful princess and saving your in-laws’ kingdom, what’s an ogre to do? Well, if you’re Shrek, you suddenly wind up a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, a reluctant Shrek now agrees to autograph pitch forks. What’s happened to this ogre’s roar? Longing for the days when he felt like a “real ogre,” Shrek is duped into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumpelstiltskin is king and Shrek and Fiona have never met. Now, it’s up to Shrek to undo all he’s done in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world and reclaiming his one True Love.
