Shrek Forever After (2010)
Shrek Forever After (2010) — Much better than part 3, nowhere near as good as part 2. I hear a lot of people saying that you don’t need to see the earlier installments to see this one and I would like to point out that that is bullshit. If you’re not familiar with the characters from previous films then nothing that happens in this movie means anything. But I assume most people have seen the previous films so no harm done. There is a decent amount of funny stuff in this movie as well as a decent Shrek-flavored riff on the whole It’s A Wonderful Life-style alternate universe story. Nothing original really happens but “original” is not something to be expected these days in children’s entertainment. The most you should hope for is to be entertained and Shrek 4 fits the bill.
