Movie Review: Shrek the Third
So last night, Linnea and I went to see the new Shrek movie. It was good, but I liked it less than the others. It was really short, though, and Justin Timberlake was in it, which I liked. Plus, I like any movie where a fat redhead with funny ears and ugly skin can get married, and in this new movie, have a family.
There were a LOT of kids in the theater, though. Like, a LOT. I realize that this is an animated movie, but it is not something I'd bring a kid under 11 to. The four year old (or possibly younger) next to me was cute, but asked questions the ENTIRE time. "Why did he say THAT, MOOOOMMMMMM?" "Did he DIE, Mommmmm?" And I know the adult jokes in the movie are supposed to go over kids' heads, but if I were a nine-year-old sitting there with my mom or dad, I'd be mortified to hear some of that stuff, because I'd totally Get It, and would be embarrassed.
The movie was cute, though, so it gets three out of three Starbucks logos.

Short movies are RULING!
All movie theaters need child-free showings, even of animated features. The world would also benefit from child-free Starbuckses (pl?). Since every town has like four anyway, can't some of them NOT allow children? I get so sick of sitting in spilled chocolate milk every day at Stamstarbs, and of having to listen to whining brats while I am trying to read or write. (And I actually LIKE kids!)
