Pay Per View Review

It was movie night, and it was Natalie's turn to choose, and she chose Shreck the Third. Charlie objected mildly, since he had already seen it at school, but he he enjoyed it once it was on.

Mike Myers ... Shrek (voice)
Eddie Murphy ... Donkey (voice)
Cameron Diaz ... Princess Fiona (voice)
Antonio Banderas ... Puss in Boots (voice)
Julie Andrews ... Queen Lillian (voice)
John Cleese ... King Harold (voice)
Rupert Everett ... Prince Charming (voice)
Eric Idle ... Merlin (voice)
Justin Timberlake ... Artie (voice)

First and foremost, as with any franchise, the question is if it was true to series.

The answer is yes.

The plot is by no means throw-away, with Shreck trying to find a Nephew of the King, Arthur (Artie), so that he does not have to be king.

We also have the vengeful Charming, and some amusing sendups of dinner theater and high school along the way.

The use of music in this movie is the best yet. I'll never think of Led Zepplin's The Immigrant Song in the same way.

It is a worthy successor of the first two.

Recommended.
