The natural order of fairy tales is interrupted in the sequel to

new adventures with more fairy-tale favorites to lampoon along the
way.
After battling a fire-breathing dragon and the evil Lord Farquaad
to win the hand of Princess Fiona, Shrek now faces his greatest
challenge: the in-laws. Shrek and Princess Fiona return from their
honeymoon to find an invitation to visit Fiona’s parents,
the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Far, Far Away. With Donkey
along for the ride, the newlyweds set off. All of the citizens of
Far, Far Away turn out to greet their returning Princess, and her
parents happily anticipate the homecoming of their daughter and
her new Prince. But no one could have prepared them for the sight
of their new son-in-law, not to mention how much their little girl
had…well…changed.
Little did Shrek and Fiona know that their marriage had foiled all
of her father’s plans for her future…and his own. Now
the King must enlist the help of a powerful Fairy Godmother, the
handsome Prince Charming and that famed ogre killer Puss In Boots
to put right his version of "happily ever after."

the president of her sorority, a Hawaiian Tropic girl, Miss June
in her campus calendar, and, above all, a natural blonde. She dates
the cutest fraternity boy on campus and wants nothing more than
to be Mrs. Warner Huntington III. But, there's just one thing stopping
Warner (Matthew Davis) from popping the question: Elle is TOO blonde.
Growing up across the street from Aaron Spelling might mean something
in LA, but nothing to Warner's East-Coast blue blood family. So,
when Warner packs up for Harvard Law and reunites with an old sweetheart
from prep school, Elle rallies all her resources and gets into Harvard,
determined to win him back. But law school is a far cry from the
comforts of her poolside and the mall. Elle must wage the battle
of her life - for her guy, for herself and for all the blondes who
suffer endless indignities everyday.
