Shrek Forever After - 2010

Starring:
Mike Myers (Austin Powers), Cameron Diaz (Charlie's Angels)

Rating:
PG for mild action, some rude humor and brief language.

Movie description:
Rumpelstiltskin tricks a mid-life crisis burdened Shrek into allowing himself to be erased from existence and cast in a dark alternate timeline where Rumpel rules supreme.

Review:
I am a huge Shrek fan so when I saw a trailer about a new movie it was instantly on my to watch list.  Watching the movie I was not disappointed.  I laughed, I cried and my children, 1 and 5 both loved it.  I know it's been said that sequels are never as good as the original and I'm a firm believer that this is true around 90% of the time.  Watching Shrek 4 I was not expecting it to be as good as the first one, and I don't think it could have been even if they had changed anything, but it was great entertainment.  Fans of the Shrek movies will like/love this one, people who are not big fans of the series will probably hate it.  I would say do not expect it to be as original as the first one and stay clear of the expensive 3D version, but aside from those little things just relax and enjoy the show.

Thank you for reading,
