Puss in Boots

This is the only animated film from last year that I had seen. A spin-off from the successful Shrek franchise, this one misses the mark, not completely, but far from a good movie.
Here, Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) has his own adventures, finding the magic beans that will lead to the golden goose and golden eggs. Joining him are Kitty (Selma Hayek) and his former friend from the orphanage, Humpty Alexander Dumpty (Zach Galifianankis). Humpty and Puss has a history together and not all of it was nice. Puss and Humpty both betrayed each other, and currently hate each other. But they join forces once again to steal the magic beans from the nasty and dangerous Jack (Billy Bob Thornton) and Jill (Amy Sedaris), who are married and huge pig lovers. For some comic relief, Jack announces that he wants to have a baby, but Jill is less than thrilled with the idea. They get the beans and grow the huge beanstalk and steal the baby that lays the golden eggs, but this creates more problems, the mother goose attacks the whole town where Puss and Humpty were raised. And, after another betrayal from Humpty, they once again joined forces, this time for good. Humpty dies so Puss can save the baby goose and thus the town, all is once again right in Puss's world.
All in all, the film has a few laughs and tons of cute animated cats, but it is merely a mindless film, one that, after the first viewing, it can be background noise for surfing the internet. Still, the actors can't be blamed, the fault does not lie in the animation, but in the script. Grade: C+
