                       Shrek the Third

Not as good as I'd hoped; not nearly as bad as I'd feared.  Some funny bits, but Mike Myers practically phoned his performance in.  It was nice to see (or hear) former Monty Pythoners John Cleese (back as the ailing, then dead Frog King) and Eric Idle (as the pantless Merlin).  It was also fun to see the Queen (Julie Andrews) really use her head to escape from captivity.  The Gingerbread Man steals the show with lines like, "The only thing you'll ever be king of is King of the Stupids!",  pooping gumdrops when scared, and, in a life-flashing-before-his-eyes montage, we see how he rehabilitated himself after his legs were ripped off in the original movie (complete with Six Million Dollar Man sound effects).

Just think, in three years, we can all look forward to Shrek 4!
