Shrek ain't dreck, it's just that the third chapter in the life of the bilious-green ogre is listing from taking on the heavy load of virtue, a poor substitute for mischief.

"Shrek the Third" HH out of four. Directed by Chris Miller and Raman Hui. Voiced by Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas, Justin Timberlake, and Rupert Everett.

Shrek the Third is about mid-life crisis, ogre-style, but it's all a bit uninspired: a testy Shrek behaves as if he is preparing to audition for a TV show called Grumpy Old Ogres.
