Picking
up exactly where the first movie left off, this movie
takes us to the kingdom of Far, Far Away as Shrek and
Fiona return to her homeland to tell her parents (Cleese,
Andrews) the good news. So after returning from their
honeymoon and showing "home movies" to their friends,
Shrek and Fiona learn Fiona's parents have heard their
daughter has married her true love and wish to meet
the husband and invite him to their kingdom, called
Far Far Away.
The catch? Fiona's parents are unaware of the curse
that struck their daughter and assumed she married Prince
Charming so are a bit shocked to learn their son-in-law
is a 700-pound ogre with horrible hygeine and friends
with a talking donkeyNot everyone is happy to find her
married to an ogre, with the most irate in this group
being Prince Charming (Everett), who was supposed to
be the one who lifted Fiona's curse. We're also introduced
to the mysterious Fairy Godmother (Saunders), and a
bar called the Poison Apple, where the villains of the
fairy tale world hang out, including the great ogre-slayer,
Puss-in-Boots (Banderas).. |

When
is Myers going to drop the crappy Scots accent he's
used in a few flicks and adopt the accent of his forefathers?
Scouse! That's a Liverpool accent like the Beatles..
for the uninitated. |
