It's been a couple of weeks since I watched this with wifey, but finally here is my mini review. It was average. There you go. Oh, you want more? Okay.... It felt like Dreamworks took all of the main characters from the "Shrek" movies (Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and Puss) and put them in a non Shrek movie. Gingerbread man, The Three Pigs, Pinocchio and the other supporting characters were given barely cameos in this film and lets remember it is the full ensemble cast of the previous movies that makes "far far away" so much fun. In "Forever After", Shrek gets taken from his real life and put in an alternative version where nobody knows who he is. The movie is okay, no great shakes, sure it has some laughs, but I get the feeling the jokes have been told before.... (look at Puss and his big eyes!) Kids will still love it, but the extra charm that made the film so much fun for adults too seems to be lacking in the fourth (and hopefully final) installment.Read full review
Billed as the final movie in the Shrek series. Shrek Forever After finds Shrek (Mike Myers) finding his life at home to be less than exciting. He dreams of the days when he was a real Ogre. He meets up with Rumpelstiltskin (Walt Dohrn) who promises to give him one day of life as it used to be, in exchange, Shrek must give him one day. Shrek agrees and soon finds out that he was tricked and must figure out how to get his life back. This is (in my opinion) the best of the Shrek movies. There are so many laughs in this one that it was difficult to follow the movie. The writers out did themselves with funny comments, faces of the characters and action. You difinately do not want to miss this one. The cast of this movie are: Main Cast: Mike Myers as Shrek, Eddie Murphy as Donkey, Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots, Walt Dohrn as Rumpelstiltskin, Conrad Vernon as Gingy (Gingerbread Man), Aron Warner as Big Bad Wolf, Christopher Knights as Three Blind Mice, Cody Cameron as Pinocchio, Three Little Pigs, Julie Andrews as Queen Lillian. Supporting Cast: Jon Hamm as Brogan the Ogre, Craig Robinson as Cookie the Ogre, Jane Lynch as Gretched the Ogre, John Cleese as King Harold, Chris Miller as Magic Mirror, Mr. Geppetto, Kristen Schaal as Pumpkin Witch, Palace Witch, Mary Kay Place as Guard Witch, Meredith Vieira as Broomsy Witch, Kathy Griffin as Taran, Lake Bell as Patrol Witch, Wagon Witch #2, Jeremy Steig as Pied Piper, Regis Philbin as Mabel the Ugly Stepsister, Ryan Seacrest as Butter Pants' father., Mike Mitchell as Butter Pants, and Justin Timberlake as Arthur Pendragon.Read full review
Very good sequel.Entertaining for all ages.Did not know what to expect, but was pleased with this one.It lives up to the prior Shrek movies. Easy story line for all to follow, and enough mixed humor that adults can enjoy.Lesson to be learned be careful of what you wish for. Shrek did not know how good he had it till it was taken away.It shows us how important our friends and family are, even when everyday life seems to wear us down.i hope this isnt the final chapter, as i would love to see more in the future.Hope this helps. Enjoy the movie
The last chapter to Shrek. I like it as much as the first one. Has some great moments and life lessons.

My kids love this movie and the 3 that came before it. They are sad this is the last of the series, but now have the complete set to enjoy for years to come.
