Shrek Forever After is an adventure filled and amusing film that the whole family will enjoy. Sure it’s not quite as magical as the first film, but I think it was an improvement over parts 2 and 3. The story was fun and imaginative and gave the audience a chance to meet the familiar characters all over again. As always for me, Eddie Murphy’s Donkey steals the show. The character has the funniest lines in the film and I truly get a kick out of him. As much as I enjoyed the movie and believe other adults will as well, I realize that Shrek is predominantly meant for kids and therefore their opinion is more important. With that in mind, I’ve interviewed both my nine year old daughter and my six year old son to see what they thought of the movie. 

Before getting to their reviews I’ll give you a little plot summary. Shrek, the lovable green ogre, domesticated and bored with his life, makes a deal with Rumplestiltskin that will make him feel like a real ogre again. He is tricked however and winds up in a Far, Far Away much different from the one he knows. Rumplestiltskin is king, ogres are hunted and he and Fiona have never met. It is up to Shrek to restore things back to the way they were. And that my friends, is the basic plot. Without further adieu, I give you an honest review of Shrek Forever After from members of its target audience.
