201093 min6.4 / 10

A playful yet philosophically grounded family adventure that uses a Faustian bargain and alternate timeline to explore midlife regret, true love, and the value of the life you've built.

A midlife-crisis burdened Shrek, longing for the days 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.
