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
her-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
