Tony Toscano reviews “Shrek Forever After”

The 4th and final chapter of the Shrek series actually goes out on top.

In the new film, Shrek is bored with married life to Fiona and fatherhood. He misses the old days where his ogre-roar would have villagers running. He meets Rumpelstiltskin, a man with the power to turn back the clock and make him the ogre he once was. But there’s a catch (there always is)

The price is Shrek must give Rumpelstiltskin a day from his past. Not thinking things through clearly, Shrek agrees and wakes into a bizarre world where he never existed.

He must find Fiona and make her fall in love with him to break the spell.

Shrek Forever After bounces back from the 3rd film nicely. The film offers up a cockeyed look at Shrek’s world if Shrek never existed. In this animated “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Shrek realizes what is important and what is not, and we as the audience discover it as well.

Shrek Forever After gets a B+ and is rated PG.
