Even at 6+, I don't want my children to watch a "kid" movie that has violence, inappropriate words and sexual innuendo. Should be kept out of school-aged kid movies or rated PG-13. Come on people... we should be showing our kids how they should behave, not making it look cool to act like a person without culture or moral principles.

Good for older kids
'Be thankful for what you have' is the message in this movie but to a kid under age of 6 they can't figure that out. It's an adult concept given to a child. The action scenes are great, my son didn't understand why none of Shrek's friends knew him after the contract was signed and sitting there explaining the meaning of a movie during a movie defeats the purpose.

Alternate reality hard to understand for kids
My 5yr old just didn't get the "alternate reality" Kept asking where the babies were and why doesn't Fiona know Shrek.

Lesser of the 4 movies, but still had its moments
Went tonight and both of my boys, 6 and 4, liked it. I thought it was definitely the lesser of the 4 movies, but still had some good parts. Looking forward to the Puss in Boots movie!!

Think twice before taking children to this violent film
Even if your young children loved the earlier Shrek movies, think twice about taking them to see this one. It is much darker and scarier than the others. The premise -- what would the world be like if Shrek had never been born -- is not easily grasped by young children.
We left halfway through because there was nothing fun or happy about this movie. My son was frightened and kept asking why the villian was " so mean" or why the ogres "wanted to hurt other people." There is no need to show so much nastiness in a movie for young children.

Enjoyable, fun.
Fun, not the greatest movie, but enjoyable. Don't bother with 3D though - doesn't add much.

A little slow, but mildly entertaining
This way okay, but kind of disappointing for the last Shrek. They didn't do as good of a job with the script; it wasn't as funny. My kids watched if fine, but didn't even mention it after we left and couldn't remember a detail later. (We always ask what they like about a movie.) It's probably not worth the extra 3D price. If you love Shrek, you'll want to see it--but don't have high expectations.

What you'd expect from a Shrek movie.
Pretty funny! My seven-year-old missed lots of the references and some of the plot, but that probably just means there's enough smart stuff for grownups. There's a very positive message to the effect that dads should stop worrying about recapturing their bachelor lives and appreciate their families--but that will probably sail right over kids' heads too. It's mostly just fun entertainment, and pretty harmless.

I am surprised at the rating of ages 6 and up. My husband and I rented this the other night to preview it for our kids 2,4,6 and 8 and there is no way they will be seeing this movie anytime soon. Very dark. Very sinister. Very frightening. I am so disappointed in this movie.

It is just stupid
This as well as all the Dream Works movies I have seen have adult humor that kids don't understand as well as very rude characters.

This is how they end the Shrek series?!
My twin four year olds liked the movie a lot, but I thought it was the weakest of the Shrek series. There is a distinctly dark side to it that made my kids somewhat scared during certain parts of it.
Some funny lines, but overall, I gave it a C+.

Disappointed
Totally inappropriate for my 6 year old. The whole storyline is about an ambush.

Very cute movie for the whole family
This movie is insanely cute! I absolutely loved it. I have no idea why it was rated PG it seem like it should have been a G movie to me. If you haven't seen it yet you should.
