Puss in Boots

Puss in Boots

Rating 6.5 out of 10

I liked the first two Shrek movies alot.  I liked the way they mixed in plenty of adult humor so us big boys would enjoy it as much as kids.  I thought the addition of Puss the sword swinging cat was funny.  The trailers for Puss in Boots looked funny to me.

Puss is once again voiced by Antonio Banderas who is perfect for this feline.  His partner in crime is Kitty Soutpaws voiced by the always hot Salma Hayek and Humpty Dumpty voiced by Zach Galiflanakis.  The animation is first rate.

I would have seen this earlier but I had to find a small child to go with me so I didn't look like the creepy old guy in the cartoon theater by myself.  My beautiful two year old granddaughter Delilah to the rescue.  I believe it was her first movie ever and both parents and myself were uncertain how she would react.  Just in case I bought a medium popcorn and a bag of Reese's Pieces.  It was a huge success!

For me Puss in Boots is a cute kids movie.  For me though it lacked the humor and wit needed to keep my interest.  It does not have all the characters of the Shrek movies or even much of a plot line.  Puss and Humpty are buddies until Humpty decides to rip off the local town and frame Puss.  There is another plot where they are trying to steal Jacks magic beans to climb the beanstalk to steal the goose that lays golden eggs.  Get all that.

Doesn't matter.  It is cute enough and holds a two year olds attention.  The popcorn was good and I admit I ate more of the Reese's Pieces than Delilah did.
