I was disappointed by Shrek the Third, but my son wanted to see this new installment as part of his birthday celebration, so we gave this one a chance and are glad we did! "Forever After" was redemption for this great series...glad we took the chance on it because we really enjoyed it...we're not big fans of 3D, so we saw it in the regular flavor...definitely recommend you see this one!
I went to see this last night with my wife...while some of it was predictable (what movie isn't these days?), it was definitely fun to watch...not something I would want my wife to own and watch 3 times a week, but I think most guys would enjoy this as a "date movie"...
Although this movie is fun (and funny) in the beginning, it remains true to the book, and the ending is tough to watch...we could hear sobs throughout the audience during our showing...the miscarriage of their first pregnancy was a tough scene, and may be inappropriate for younger members of your family (unless you are prepared to explain what's happening)...overall this was a great film, and although it took a little license with the book, overall it was definitely worth seeing, and is a great life's journey tale...
We took my 60-something in-laws and my 5 year old son to see Kung Fu Panda on Father's Day - we all really enjoyed the movie! Lots of action for my son to enjoy, and a pretty meaningful message that the adults could enjoy (and hopefully my son will appreciate when he is a little older)...
