Last night I attended the 8:30 showing of Shrek the Third with Emily and her friend Keith. Prior to the film, we were treated to some interesting previews:

Nancy Drew (aka The Baby-Sitters Club meets Encyclopedia Brown)
Surf's Up (aka not just another fucking penguin movie, but a fucking penguin movie with a pot smoking chicken)
Ratatouille (aka Mouse Hunt meets Shark Tale)
Evan Almighty (aka "Have any of these people actually read the Bible?")
Transformers (aka "Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?")
A Bee Movie (aka a remake of Antz only now using bees)
Hot Rod (aka Napoleon Dynamite meets Jackass)

There shouldn't be any huge spoilers, but just in case...

Cut! )

By the way, this film has the weirdest end credits ever.

Also, when the hell did movie theaters become a baby-sitting service. I can't tell you how many kids we had in the theater crying. Also, why the hell didn't their parents do anything? If the baby is crying, take him out of the theater. It's not that difficult of a concept...

All in all, this film was enjoyable. Of course, it wasn't as good as either of its predecessors, but it still managed to be somewhat fresh and original, especially being the third film in a series. On my "*gigglesnort* - O-Meter" I'd give this film a 4.2 out of 5.
