Shrek Forever After

May 23rd, 2010

Shrek Forever After has Mike Myers back as Shrek in this fable that resembles a perfect storm where It’s a Wonderful Life collides with Grimm’s Fairy Tales and the Wizard of Oz. Also retuning are Cameron Diaz as the voice of Princess Fiona and the frenetic Eddie Murphy as the scene stealing Donkey. Back too is Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots - for the most part with a bit of a glandular pro ...
