	Author	Review
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"This fourth installment in the popular animated franchise demonstrates it may finally be time to let Shrek and Fiona live happily ever after"	NEG
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"The 3D visuals are especially impressive, offering a depth that's still too rare among animated films. The same could be said for the script, which recalls - if doesn't quite match - the 2001 original in warmth and humor"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"In the fourth and ostensibly final installment, Shrek and company still have some appeal, but the energy is lacking and the fun feels forced"	NEU
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"After a disappointing third outing, this Shrek brings the cycle of fairy-tale-themed films to a fine finish (...) the delight in "Shrek Forever After" is not in the tale itself, but in the telling (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	John Anderson Variety	"Pic contains a respectable number of laughs, but also borrows its storyline from the oft-recycled 'It’s a Wonderful Life'"	NEU
United States	Tasha Robinson AV Club	"Kids’ movies are rarely profoundly thoughtful, but there’s no reason to be this insulting about it, either."	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It's a pleasing note to end on. But please, let it be the end (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
