Even at 6+, I don't want my kiddos to watch a "kid" movie that has inappropriate words. Should be kept out of school-aged movies or rated PG-13 at least.
Sexual Content (Pause): Shrek and Fiona sleep in the same bed, and it's implied that Shrek is naked. "The talk" is interrupted. A character states that another character makes her "hotter than July".
Violence (Pause): A battle scene features fist-fighting and weapons.
Language (Not an Issue): None.
Social Behavior (On): Characters learn to be tolerant of one another. Strong female characters, though they are helpless and selfish at first.
Commercialism (Not an Issue): Fake commercialism for fast food and other products. Shrek is a huge marketing empire.
Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Pause): Characters drink fuzzy navels. References to mojitos and marijuana.
The third shrek film didn't do much for me. Not many laughs, good moments, or memorable scenes. If you love the first two, don't bother seeing this one.
This is a film I especially found amusing because of all the satire about musicals. I mean, what can be better than Charming doing dinner theater and wearing pink leg warmers? There is humor for all age groups, and most of the adult humor (luckily) goes over kids' heads. Puss and Donkey were their usual perfection, and Julie Andrews was once again perfect. What more is there to say?
Take your kids to see this movie.
Every age group, from youngsters to adults will find something to keep them rolling in their seats.
The plot and visual style offer something for everyone.
The frog was lucky. He died before he had to suffer through this movie. Not much was said to Fiona about the death of her father. Shrek took off right after the funeral. The kids at the school were very obnoxious. (That bothers me a lot. Kids are never generalized as a nice bunch anymore! I could go on and on about that!) The best part about the movie was Fiona and the princesses standing up for themselves, and that was a fairly minor part of the movie. Nothing really memorable happened in the movie to make me desire a DVD.
