Shrek the Third
I review movies when my brain is fried on games and my DS needs charging.
Don'no when you look at DVD's but it's probably when you need a time out too.
Shreck is one of those offerings – it just covers you like warm blanket.
Story: The frog king of Far Far Away dies and Shrek is next in line to be new
ruler – not what he wants to be. So he goes out to find Fiona's cousin Arthur
to take his place. Arthur is not king material – a wimp, with zero charisma
and totally lacking in self esteem.
Perfect setup for some lessons on ego boosting. However, there is someone who
does want to be king - Prince Charming, and so ensues various nefarious engagements.
Donky and the suave Prince in Boots come to the rescue. A very funny opera buffo is put
on by the Prince and his henchmen which is to culminate in the destruction of Shrek.
Eventually - too soon - everything's ironed out. As a side story, Princess Fiona is pregnant
which leads to fantasies, nightmares, songs, and instructions on parenting. Eventually the
kids are born – a nice ending .
