There will be many reviews this weekend that will tell you that Shrek 4 is not worth seeing or is disappointing. Well, I’m here to tell you don’t listen to those reviews, go see this movie.
The synopsis of this movie is very simple: our hero Shrek becomes George Bailey of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” He wishes to undo a moment of his life that he feels changed him into a drab, dull and boring individual. Like George Bailey, Shrek doesn’t realize what he has until it’s gone.
It’s not often that I go to a movie and laugh out loud, but I assure you I did. And I wasn’t the only one. The matinee I attended, was equally divided between children and adults. And the adults were laughing louder, harder and longer than their children. To be honest, many of the jokes and gags in this movie, flew over the heads of many of the small children. But rest assured, I’m confident that the adults got every single one of them.
By its very title, this movie tells you that this will be (most likely) the last film. I really wouldn’t put much bank on that. We already know that Antonio Banderas, who plays Puss in Boots, is already signed up to do a spinoff film on his character. I, for one, can’t wait if the writing is as sharp and the direction is as tight as this movie was. This is a movie you can go see and enjoy again and again, even without kids.
