synopsis
After battling a fire-breathing dragon and the evil Lord Farquaad to win the hand of Princess Fiona, Shrek now faces his greatest challenge: the in-laws. Shrek and Princess Fiona return from their honeymoon to find an invitation to visit Fiona's parents, the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Far, Far Away. With Donkey along for the ride, the newlyweds set off. All of the citizens of Far, Far Away turn out to greet their returning Princess, and her parents happily anticipate the homecoming of their daughter and her new Prince. But no one could have prepared them for the sight of their new son-in-law, not to mention how much their little girl had changed. Little did Shrek and Fiona know that their marriage had foiled all of her father's plans for her future--and his own. Now the King must enlist the help of a powerful Fairy Godmother, the handsome Prince Charming and that famed ogre killer 'Puss In Boots' to put right his version of "happily ever after."

Call me twisted, but it's hard not to feel crazy love for an animated movie that pictures Cinderella's stepsister as an aging gorgon who tends bar in a dump called the Poison Apple, offers tips on where to find a hit man and talks in a voice of pure Larry King gravel (King himself did the vocals). In Shrek 2, our hero -- a newlywed ogre with a persistent flatulence problem -- is in jeopardy from a king who wants him dead, a psycho fairy godmother and a wife who thinks he needs an extreme…
