Shrek 4 - not bad...
Saturday nights I am usually pretty wiped out because work on Saturdays tends to be exhausting.
So I like getting to see movies we missed in the theaters
So tonight we watched "Shrek: Forever After".
It was, in fact, not bad.
This is actually praise because I thought "Shrek The Third" was horrible (not seeing a lot of humor in a storyline which involves a parent dying).
I actually did not tell Dasha & Stella we had Shrek the Third on cable when they visited because I had watched it the night before I didn't think it was something I wanted them to see under my watch (if they saw it in Belarus - highly unlikely - I would not be making that decision.)
Then again, I think the whole "Shrek" series is over-sold. It is fine, but not brilliant and the animation is fine but not innovative. The anti-Disney jokes in the first two movies are okay, but again they beat it with Walt's frozen head too many times. <--- yes, I know that is actually not true.
So if they are free & are looking for something no-brain to watch Shreks 1, 2 & 4 get a luke-warm approval.
IF you want to watch a really good recent animated movie I highly recommend Despicable Me. I paid money for it in the theater AND I own the DVD. That is high praise from me.
