“Shrek Forever After” — A Hollywood Reporter Review

“Shrek Forever After” — A Hollywood Reporter Review

April 22, 2010 By Michael Hickerson 1 Comment

The Hollywood Reported has weighed in on the upcoming fourth “Shrek” movie.

Bottom Line: This fourth installment in the popular animated franchise demonstrates it may finally be time to let Shrek and Fiona live happily ever after.

You know that a film franchise is beginning to tire when its central character is in the throes of a midlife crisis. Such is the case with the lovable ogre in “Shrek Forever After,” the fourth and promised final film in the animated series that has proven a moneymaking machine in its last three incarnations. Receiving its world premiere as the opening-night film at the Tribeca Film Festival, this installment should prove equally lucrative — especially considering the extra coin that 3D and IMAX bring to the table — but it also reveals a definite been-there, done-that feeling.
