I like all 4 Shrek films, giving each a 7.
This left me cold. I was imagining the creators around a table planning what and when. Each character gets to introduce himself by song, and some plot points are sung. But this made me not care. Really typical tunes and puns. And the charm of the Shrek films does not come through here at all.
I wonder if the guy who played the short regent while on his knees will have serious knee problems in his future.
