It's not easy being an ogre, but Shrek finds it doubly difficult for an ogre like himself to fill in for a king when his father-in-law King Harold of Far, Far Away falls ill in this third Shrek movie. Shrek's attempts to fulfill his kingly duties play like a blooper reel, with boat christenings and knighting ceremonies gone terribly wrong, and to say that Shrek (Mike Myers) is insecure about his new role is a gross understatement. When King Harold (John Cleese) passes away, Shrek sets out with Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss-in-Boots (Antonio Banderas) to find Arthur (Justin Timberlake), the only heir in line for the throne besides himself. Just as Shrek sets sail to find Artie (as Arthur is more commonly known), Fiona (Cameron Diaz) shocks Shrek with the news that she's pregnant. Soon after, Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) sends Captain Hook (Ian McShane) in pursuit of Shrek and imprisons Fiona and her fellow Princesses as part of his plan to install himself as King of Far, Far Away. Shrek finds an awkward Artie jousting with his high school classmate Lancelot (John Krasinski) and, while Artie is certainly no picture of kingliness, Shrek is determined to drag him back to Far, Far Away to assume the throne. Mishaps and comedy abound, including a spell gone wrong that locks Donkey and Puss-in-Boots inside one another's bodies. While Fiona and the other Princesses prove they're anything but helpless women, Artie and Shrek battle their own fears of inadequacy in a struggle to discover their own self-worth. In the end, Shrek, Artie, and Fiona each learn a lot about their individual strengths and what truly makes each of them happy. Of course, it's the pervasive humor and wit that make Shrek the Third so side-splittingly appealing. Rated PG for some crude and suggestive humor, but appropriate for most families with children ages 6 and older. --Tami Horiuchi

 Disgusting June 30, 2009
CelloGirl17 (MA, USA)
Like everybody else here, I found the first two Shrek movies to be entertaining. The second one was my favorite, since I thought its writing was the best of all three. But this one...ugh. It was just plain gross. There's too much bathroom humor. Who would want to see a movie full of burping, farting, butt jokes, and explicit depictions of vomiting? Not me. AVOID this movie, especially if you are sensitive to vulgarity. (In comparison, the first two movies did not have nearly as much crude humor as this one -- they were much more serious, which is why I enjoyed them more.)
 it's alright June 26, 2009
Sarah M. Clevenger (Muncie, IN)
This is not as funny as the 1st or 2nd but hey, it's still Shrek.
No longer laugh-out-loud funny. June 10, 2009
Linda Sue (St. Louis metro)
The "ogre" jokes aren't funny anymore -- Eddie Murphy is phoning his performance in and isn't even trying to be on-the-edge.
 Funny as all get out like the other 2!! June 2, 2009

No Joke Too Low To Stoop For May 31, 2009
Celia Hayes (San Antonio, SA)
The third outing for the Shrek franchise is serviceable and amusing - no joke too low to stoop for, which will amuse adolescents and anyone younger as it demolishes high-school mope-fests, the Arthurian legends, dinner-theater venues and the princess phenomenon along with Far Far Away's throne room. Shrek the Third struck a lot of reviewers as claim out of which all the original wit had been mined, and perhaps they have a point. Now we know what to expect; this is just the continuation of the story of a love-struck ogre coping with love and responsibility in a deeply skewed world. But watching Shrek The Third remains a more agreeable use of an hour and a half than a lot of other movies out there, first run and DVD release. The princesses storming the castle with the aid of Snow White's little woodland friends and a blast of "Barracuda" is definitely worth the cost of the DVD, as is Eric Idle voicing the befuddled Merlin as a nervous high school teacher.
The extras included are generous and a bit of a mixed bag: Artie's Worchester High yearbook is a very long and detailed send-up, and funnier if the viewer knows the Arthurian canon. The "Donkey Dance" is a quick and witty parody of "Safety Dance", but the "lost scenes" are just original story-board sketches with outlining an assortment of scenes not developed past that point. (We lost interest at the first, and fast-forwarded through the next two.) "Big Green Goofs" are a disturbing collection of computer glitches involving the characters animations and scenes which was at least interesting. "Shrek's Guide to Parenting" offered advice from various characters on child-rearing: Puss in Boot's advice was the funniest.
