Shrek the Third —
The third installment of Shrek, Shrek the Third, was released this month and while it doesn't exactly live up to the fun of the original two, it's still a great story and has many funny moments, although some of the them are a little juvenile when it gets to the poop jokes. That type of humor didn't stop the kids in the audience, though, as they laughed heartily throughout, and I managed to get in a few LOL moments myself, such as when Shrek has an anxiety nightmare about becoming a new dad and winds it up being on stage in a graduation hat giving a speech totally naked. There were three different people/ogres vying for the throne, to be King of Far Far Away, so here's some tips for them for next time for a smoother transition.1. Prince Charming, you are a walking, talking oxymoron. Your name maybe charming, but you certainly aren't. The reason why you aren't King of Far Far Away has a lot to do with that. Getting the other rejects of Far Far Away, the stepsisters, Rumpelstiltsken, Captain Hook, etc., certainly isn't going to help you overtake the kingdom. It's best all of you just stay at the bar drinking during "Unhappy Hour."
2. So Shrek, understandably, you're an ogre, but is there something in the ogre laws that says you have to shirk all responsibility? First, you don't want any part of the King gig, and now you're also not thrilled that the love of your life, Fiona, is pregnant? What gives?
3. Donkey, who'd have thunk that it would be you that was the voice of reason and the one so willing to accept responsibility in the parent department? Your donkey/dragon children have faces that only their mother could love. You should have made a move to take over as King, as you clearly seem to be the only one willing to accept responsibility so willingly.
4. We have to cut you some slack, Arthur, aka as Artie, as you're just a teenager and most teenagers aren't exactly known for being the most responsible lot. But you need to pull it together and just accept the position being offered to you. If the Queen of England was able to take over at such a young age, you can to.
5. Princesses, the strength you showed as a group is amazing. Who needs princes and kings?
6. You are definitely to be admired, Pinocchio, at your double speak that you used to put Charming off track and not have to tell a lie at the same time. You're a quick thinker! And much more so than your partner in crime, Gingerbread Man, who can only think to cut Charming down by calling him the King of Stupid. You are a real boy in my book.
7. Special Note to iTunes: Get on the ball and release this soundtrack, or I'll be forced to download it elsewhere. Everyone knows the highlight to the Shrek movies is the incredible soundtracks. I have now had Live and Let Die, Barracuda, Cats In the Cradle, and Thank You (Falletin Me Be Mice Elf Again) playing through my head nonstop, and I need to hear them again for it to stop.
