| It's not easy being an ogre, but Shrek finds it doubly difficult for an ogre like himself to fill in for a king when his father-in-law King Harold of Far, Far Away falls ill in this third Shrek movie. Shrek's attempts to fulfill his kingly duties play like a blooper reel, with boat christenings and knighting ceremonies gone terribly wrong, and to say that Shrek (Mike Myers) is insecure about his new role is a gross understatement. When King Harold (John Cleese) passes away, Shrek sets out with Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss-in-Boots (Antonio Banderas) to find Arthur (Justin Timberlake), the only heir in line for the throne besides himself. Just as Shrek sets sail to find Artie (as Arthur is more commonly known), Fiona (Cameron Diaz) shocks Shrek with the news that she's pregnant. Soon after, Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) sends Captain Hook (Ian McShane) in pursuit of Shrek and imprisons Fiona and her fellow Princesses as part of his plan to install himself as King of Far, Far Away. Shrek finds an awkward Artie jousting with his high school classmate Lancelot (John Krasinski) and, while Artie is certainly no picture of kingliness, Shrek is determined to drag him back to Far, Far Away to assume the throne. Mishaps and comedy abound, including a spell gone wrong that locks Donkey and Puss-in-Boots inside one another's bodies. While Fiona and the other Princesses prove they're anything but helpless women, Artie and Shrek battle their own fears of inadequacy in a struggle to discover their own self-worth. In the end, Shrek, Artie, and Fiona each learn a lot about their individual strengths and what truly makes each of them happy. Of course, it's the pervasive humor and wit that make Shrek the Third so side-splittingly appealing. Rated PG for some crude and suggestive humor, but appropriate for most families with children ages 6 and older. --Tami Horiuchi Beyond Shrek The Third

DreamWords' video unit always treated "Shrek" like royalty. The first "Shrek" DVD was a state of the art at the time, bursting with exclusive content such as a terrific made-for-DVD musical number.
For the third DVD we have "the Donkey Dance" with comic step-by-step instructions; "Shrek's Guide to Parenthood"; "Big Green Goofs"; and Shrek and Donkey's "How to Be Green" environmental tips.
HD DVD-only interactives include "The Animators' Corner" (storyboards); "Lost Scenes"; "The World of Shrek" guide to characters and the actors who voice them; "My Menus"; the pop-up "Shrek's Trivia Track; and "Donkey's Digital Coloring Book," which lets kids digitally paint scenes.
The HD DVD version comes with Dolby Digital Plus Audio. The standard def discs come in widescreen (enhanced for 16x9) and in full screen (for those who must). Audio is your basic Dolby Digital 5.1.
Reviews were respectful but mixed for this "Shrek" outing. But hey, who cares once the turkey's down to bones and the movie begins ...

An outstanding animated film, Shrek 3 or Shrek the Third, brings to the screen the ongoing story of Shrek and Fiona, only this time they find themselves facing an old foe in her parents' home kingdom of Far Far Away with all the ups and downs that that entails!
Picking up from where Shrek 2 left off, Shrek 3 continues to shed light on the lovable duo and the rest of the original, and truly adorable, entourage.
Apart from all the fun and humor (and there is so much of it!), it is a film about human relations, hope and second chances, but most importantly about trust, love, and inner strength.
Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas and the rest of the cast, have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are exceptional to say the least! All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the animation does come ALIVE)! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few laughs. The film is simple enough, but does a great job of describing people's every day lives and the problems they face. It just goes to show that simplicity is often far better than complexity, when trying to present issues of a human nature.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the HUMOR (!!!) and the music (!) are all wonderful!
In short, Shrek the Third is a movie definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection!
Strongly recommended along with the previous two Shrek movies, the Ice Age movies, Antz, The Ant Bully, Cars, Flushed Away, Hoodwinked, Madagascar, Monsters Inc. and Over the Hedge.

Shrek 3 was pretty decent, but at times it was also pretty stupid. I LOVED the second one and had high hopes for this one. There were a few mildly funny bits but overall, I would say it was just OK. I would probably watch it again if it was ever on TV, I dont know about purchacing it though...

Im sorry, this movie sucked. Shrek 2 was way better, this movie(Shrek 3) they just threw together. Me and my friend fell asleep watching it. Trust me, rent it first.

It is funny how most people like the first and second the most, but I think the first and third are the best, why? Because aside from Puss in Boots, Shrek 2 was just one crack at pop culture after another, shrek 3 had more story to it, and less pop culture
