Shrek the Third Umm It was Good ***(Three Stars) 

Entertaining, and fun.  Shrek the Third brings more of the same adult (not sexual) humor on classic fairy tales.  This chapter literally brings a third addition to the Shrek family as Fiona (Cameron Diaz) gets pregnant.  However DreamWorks Animation should probably learn from Walt Disney Pictures in that sometimes a cartoon sequil is best served on DVD.

Having said that if you enjoyed the first two you will of course enjoy this one as well.  Its exactly the same Shrek (Mike Myers) still struggles with being an ogre trying fit into the lifestyle of dating the kings daughter Fiona (Cameron Diaz) and the responsibilities that come with that privilege.   Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) still claiming he is the rightful heir to the thrown.   Only in this version we have much more of the princess, with Sleeping Beauty (Cheri Oteri), Snow White (Amy Poehler), Rapunzel (Maya Rudolph), Cinderella (Amy Sedaris), and Cinderella's Evil Step Sisters (Regis Philbin).  Loving the new additions, but we lost the talents of the selfish / singing Fairy Godmother in this episode.  She is greatly missed- she made part two.

Other than every scene that the Cross-Dressing Evil Step Sisters are in, my favorite scene is when Rapunzel - with her ever so long hair gets her wig ripped off, and she is bald.  Girl I was gagging.  

This is a cute and funny movie but nothing original.   If you are a big fan I would go to the theatre to see it, however it would be just as entertaining at home on the DVD player.
