When Shrek married Princess Fiona, becoming the next King and Queen of Far, Far
Away wasn't part of the plan. So when his father-in-law, King Harold, falls ill,
it is up to Shrek to find a suitable heir or he will be forced to give up his
beloved swamp for the throne. Recruiting Donkey and Puss In Boots for a new quest,
Shrek sets out to bring back the rightful heir to the throne, Fiona's rebellious
cousin Artie. Back in Far, Far Away, Fiona's jilted Prince Charming storms the
city with an army of fairy tale villains to seize the throne. But they have a
surprise in store because Fiona, together with her mother, Queen Lillian, has
drafted her fellow fairy tale heroines to defend their "happily ever afters." As
Shrek, Donkey and Puss work on changing Artie from a royal pain in the you-know-what
into a future king, Fiona and her band of princesses must stop Prince Charming
to ensure there will be a kingdom left to rule.— More here

Our stinky ogre grows flabbier by
the sequel
Ella Taylor
Village Voice
Blinded by avarice and all out of ideas, once again, Hollywood can't
tell when enough is way more than enough.
B-
Appeals to me as an antidote
to Spider-Man 3-type overstimulation.

Shrek the Third sticks to the swamp it knows best, in a mild climate
of palatable jokes about fatherhood, high school, girl power, and
a drug-education program for teens that advises "Just Say
Nay."
Shrek and his bride Fiona prove similarly fertile in the new outing.
Todd McCarthy
Variety
While still mirthful and eccentric enough to amuse his hordes of
admirers, the irascible green ogre begins to show signs of encroaching
middle age in "Shrek the Third." After a buoyantly funny
first half-hour, stylish animated comedy takes a breather before
ramping it up again for a rambunctious, girrrl-power finale that
provides a convenient springboard for further adventures to come.
As the $920 million in worldwide B.O. for "Shrek 2" three
years ago nearly doubled the take of the 2001 original, there can
be little doubt about similarly monstrous results this time around.
Bottom Line: The third time is not the charm.
Kirk Honeycutt
Hollywood Reporter
Much of the bite and a good deal of the wit of the first two films
are missing here. The rude send-up of beloved fairy tale conventions
remains -- somewhat -- but these playful jabs no longer come as
pleasing surprises. You expect them. And you expect better.
