...adorable sequel to the animated sensation of three years ago, the nice young couple is obliged to overcome many obstacles before gaining her family's acceptance of an ogre as son-in-law and a genial ending. Mostly the trouble stems from a Fairy Godmother who thinks her handsome, egomaniac son would be a much better mate for Fiona, but who goes to Shrek movies for the plot? God may or may not be in the details, but the best laughs surely...
...multi-billion dollar bankruptcy and is now ready to invade your newspapers and television sets. Poor old Donald has felt lonely this past decade as Americans have turned their attention away from him and towards the newly-minted billionaires of the high-tech industry. He did what any egomaniac starved for attention would do and created his own reality TV show that would feature him and only him in all his power and glory.

He started this film with his eyes wide shut to the fact that he had in hand only about half the budget he required. This meant that he had no room for error, not even for a day's delay in shooting. So, of course, the errors started compounding immediately. It wasn't supposed to rain on the first day of shooting, but it did, turning the location into a quagmire...
