CAST & DIRECTOR
Directed by Mike Mitchell. With Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
A midlife-crisis burdened Shrek, longing for the days of when he felt like a real ogre, makes a pact with magic deal-maker Rumpelstiltskin. But when he's duped and sent to a twisted version of Far Far Away—where Rumpelstiltskin is king, ogres are hunted, and he and Fiona have never met—he sets out to restore his world and reclaim his true love.
