Within the story structure of a romantic comedy and the thematic structure of a classic children's film this feature captures the irony and sarcasm towards both themes about as well as the original Shrek film did. To be clear, this is NOT an animated feature. Rather it is a live action film with an animated character, like Pete's Dragon. The animated character now done in CGI of course.
Easter eggs galore for adult watchers from the Imperial March doorbell to the film opening with a collage of Marvel-Disney characters, yet a pile of DC comics being dumped on the table at some point.
Smart well made film. Good to watch with or without kids present. As long as you are young of mind and heart. Feel good.
