Grade: B-
Of all the potential spin-offs featuring Shrek characters, “Puss In Boots” is probably the last one you’d expect to enjoy. The film doesn’t stand up to the first two gems in the “Shrek” series, but it’s still a pleasant surprise for patrons. The film takes audience members on a journey of feline proportions, with cat burglars and dance-offs galore. The plot falls on the more predictable side when compared to other Shrek marvels, but “Puss In Boots” holds its own throughout the action sequences. Notable fairy tale creatures making an appearance include Humpty Dumpty, Jack and Jill, the Golden Goose and the giant from “Jack and the Beanstalk.” All in all, “Puss” does not demand much attention from viewers but delivers witty dialogue with ease.
