Shrek 3

This is the first time I’m watching a Shrek movie. We’ve never been to one but I’m guessing the rest of the gang might’ve watched it on DVD or snippets of it somewhere.
Brunch turned out to be a long but fast-moving line of folks to the concessions counter where they were dishing out 1901 hotdogs, popcorn and a choice of drinks. Inside the cinema, there was plenty of time to eat before the movie started.
For poor Shutter.bug, our strapping young man, one hotdog was really not enough. He kept dipping into our popcorn and guzzling our drinks to make up.
Thankfully, they passed around extra food that was left over after the lines ended. We got extra portions of fishballs and more popcorn.
I have to confess I went in completely clueless, no idea what the movie was going to be about. As it turned out, I wasn’t overly impressed. It’s a good movie for younger kids, I guess. But to a mom and a brood of teens, it’s a tad childish.
Shrek 3 was your regular fairytale made from a satirical angle, I guess, judging by the way Snow White, Cinderella and all these other Disney princesses were arguing and behaving in less than lady-like ways.
You know how we have these porcelain perceptions about fairytale princesses. Shrek 3 shatters that image of soft-spoken genteel beauties that we hold so dear. I’m not sure what it could do to the younger kids. I kinda would’ve like for them to hold on to that magic just a little longer, you know
