Why it’s a Weeknight Watch
It made about 5 times its budget, but middling reviews (58%) and a lukewarm 6.4 from audiences held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

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