Movie Tour: Shrek Forever After

One of the things that we like to do with our niece and nephew is take them to a dinner and a movie for their birthday.  Our nephew Damon had his birthday at the end of April, and the movie he wanted to see was Shrek Forever After.  We were so excited to be able to spend this time with him.

Plot Summary
Shrek 4 picks up nearly a year after the previous chapter in the series left off.  Shrek & Fiona are getting ready to celebrate their triplet's first birthday, and you can see that Shrek is feel e-ogre-culated from the routine of being a father and being well-liked and popular.  Both of which are not typical for an ogre.  Shrek makes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to have one day where he could be a care-free, feared ogre again.  But the plot thickens...


Review
As with all of the Shrek movies, this one is done very well.  It is smart and funny, enjoyable for all ages.  If you are a fan of the previous three Shrek movies, you won't be disappointed by this one.  It puts some nice closure on the series.


Recommendation
Take the time to see it.  We saw it in IMAX 3D, which was incredible, but kind of pricey.  You definitely don't have to see it in 3D or at the IMAX to enjoy this one.


Best Part
The moral of the story, if you will, is that you need to be happy with your life the way it is because too often we don't realize just how good we really have it.  Hands down, the best lesson that we can learn from this movie, and the best part of the movie.
