The story begins with our titular hero (Antonio Banderas), Puss returning to the town where he grew up as an abandoned kitten left at the doorstep of an orphanage in the Mexican town of San Ricardo. Puss is looking for work. Intrigued by rumors of some Magic Beans and the Goose that laid the Golden Egg, Puss looks to steal the beans from the dastardly duo Jack and Jill (Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris) but not before bumping into sultry seductress/thief Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek) and former best friend Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis). The three then forge a shaky alliance and hatch a plan to steal the beans, plant the stalk and make their way to the castle in the sky to find a gold-laying goose by climbing up the giant beanstalk.
What I liked: the cartoon dance fight that had me smiling and I enjoyed seeing what Puss In Boots life was like before he teamed up with Shrek and Donkey, but the bad egg gets way too much screen time.
