"Shrek Forever After ": LA Times Critics' Choice Award from Betsy Sharkey:
In the latest edition of DreamWorks' billion-dollar animated franchise, the much-domesticated ogre is in the midst of a major midlife meltdown and desperate to get his angry back. All the usual suspects are there with their celebrity voices, Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy in particularly good form. Meanwhile, middle-aged angst suits Shrek and the movie. After the deep dive of 2007's "Shrek the Third," "Forever After" comes back with more heart and much of the kick-in-the-pop-culture-keister cleverness that made the greenish brute such a breath of fresh air nearly a decade ago.
Synopsis "Shrek Forever After"
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.
