...even if the screechy characters wear a little thin as the evening goes on. Composer Jeanine Tesori (with lyricist David Lindsay-Abaire) has supplied a few other cute numbers, most of them straightforward Broadway pop but with an occasional blues-rock beat, as in the funny, flatulence-enlivened love duet between Shrek and Fiona, "I Think I Got You Beat." The musical's main addition to the movie's irreverent spirit is a few quick spoofs of other Broadway shows, from Gypsy to The Lion King, which add some...

...expected to review Bond films so much as test-drive them. In that spirit, here's a quick rundown, on a scale of 0 to 10. Opening credit sequence: 5 - the usual semi-abstract woman's form, liquid and monumental. The song: 4 - Jack White and Alicia Keys duet on a power-pop number that's tenacious but not delightful.
