Shrek has married Princess Fiona and the newlyweds are supposed to return to the castle to visit Fiona's parents (voiced by Julie Andrews and John Cleese) but when they do, the in-laws are, to put it lightly, shocked to discover their daughter is an ogre. Their taunts get under Shrek's skin and he starts to think maybe Fiona would be better off without him. So he, Donkey and newcomer, Puss (in Boots) travel the countryside to make what they assume to be Fiona's dream come true. The three make their way to the scheming Fairy Godmother's for help, not knowing she's up to no good; she has hopes of her own son, the spoiled and whiny Prince Charming (Rupert Everett), marrying Fiona, and now wants to set things straight. It’s great fun; Antonio Banderas is certainly a hoot as Puss-in-Boots, a witty little cat who can disarm anyone by turning on his big, weepy kitten eyes and I enjoyed the music from artists like Tom Waits, The Eels, Counting Crows, Frou Frou).
