Shrek the Third (*)

Imagine a direct to video release getting theatrical treatment merely because the filmmakers and studio know that people will pay. Shrek the Third is the feature film equivalent of The Return of Jafar, that ill-advised Aladdin sequel from a few years back. This third Shrek boasts about five writers and I don't think any of them came up with one solid joke. The actors are coasting, the animation is okay, and nobody really seems to be trying hard. They know this thing will make money and they're content just being lazy and resting on the laurels. The more I think about this movie, the more upset I get. There is zero adult appeal to this one.
