What didn't work: Threequels are tricky. Shrek is nearly universally beloved, but follow-up installments didn't capture the magic of the ogre, the princess, and the donkey nearly as well as the original. While it seemed pretty much every fairy tale character made an appearance in this bloated installment — Captain Hook, Merlin, and Rapunzel all drop by — the laughs are few and far between and the plot left much to be desired. — Erin Strecker
