“Shrek the Third” is the funniest Shrek movie yet. The audience (me included) roared with laughter at various parts. When the donkey and Puss in Boots exchange personalities the humor goes to another level. The donkey attempts to look as cute as the cat, but he just can’t quite pull it off. The scene of the frog king “croaking” is also hilarious as it takes “physical comedy” to a new animated level.
The film-going audience hasn’t truly lived until they see a baby ogre! The film does have some mild crude humor with flatulence and burps, and Merlin the magician shows up as a bumbling character who casts a few spells which turn out to be quite funny. Some of the older audience members will recognize some of the musical themes which always seem to be inserted at just the right time. We approve this film for ages twelve and above, although parents may feel those close to age twelve may be mature enough to see the film. Get on “ogre” to a theater soon and see it!
