MOVIE REVIEW // PUSS IN BOOTS >Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
DreamWorks is back again with its newest twist on fairytales. With his alluring Spanish accent, Antonio Banderas is the famous Puss in Boots, who is always ready for an adventure. As college students, we might be past the age of the target audience for "Puss in Boots," but one can't resist the cute character in this spin-off of the ever-popular "Shrek" movies.
The movie starts with a slow comedic introduction with Puss always running from the law, throwing back shots of milk and leaving feline females falling to his feet. The movie really picks up speed when we get a glimpse of Puss' past.

Old fairytales blend together to create his newest adventure where we meet Puss' partner in crime, Humpty Dumpty, played by Zach Galifianakis, and Puss' love interest, Kitty Softpaws, played by Salma Hayek. The trio must face off against the villainous couple, Jack and Jill, in the quest of the legendary magic beans, which sprouts the magic beanstalk to the giant's castle.
one-liners to keep you entertained, but this movie isn't likely going to end up on your movie shelf in the future.
