TSI Five-O: Goes ‘Ogre-board’ with punchless jokes in a retelling of Shrek 1
The ogre fun is here again with an interesting twist but Shrek as a franchise ran out of steam by “Shrek The Third” and is pretty much running on empty now.
The latest tale begins with an irate Shrek (Mike Myers), trying hard to shuttle between his daily chores and managing his kids, with absolutely no time for himself. He misses his long lost luxuries of lone time and of having the liberty to take a mud bath as and when desired. A dejected Shrek, desperate to live his bachelor life again, soon gets tricked into signing a contract with the evil Rumpelstiltskin (Walt Dohrn), who with his magical powers, offers him a deal to live his bachelor life for a day. Once Shrek bites the bait, he finds himself to be a part an era where no one knows him - his wife Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) doesn’t recognise him, his friends the Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss (Antonio Banderas) have no idea about his existence and worse still Rumpelstiltskin is the king of Far Far Away.
How Shrek fights all evils (especially the flying witches) and wins the ‘Kiss of True Love’ in order to turn back time is an interesting watch only if one overlooks the frivolous entry of the Pied-Piper. The 3-D gimmick does not add anything to the adventure and the film is not exactly a bundle of joy if you were expecting a world of entertainment, but nevertheless it is a decent watch. It’s “Shrek 1” redux in a sense; only with fewer funnier moments.
