Happily ever after never seemed so far far away when a trip to meet the in-laws turns into a hilariously twisted adventure for Shrek and Fiona. With the help of his faithful Donkey, Shrek takes on a potion-brewing Fairy Godmother, the pompous Prince Charming, and the ogre-killer, Puss In Boots.
Acting
Banderas's Puss In Boots steals every scene he's in.
Writing
Fairy Godmother as passive-aggressive stage mom? *Chef's kiss.*
Score
Holding Out For A Hero climax still absolutely slaps.
