New trailer for 'Puss in Boots'

DreamWorks Animation will release its "Puss in Boots" spinoff Nov. 4, 2011, and here is the new trailer for the computer-animated adventure that features the voices of Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianakis, Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris.

Way before he ever met Shrek, the legendary Puss In Boots goes on a heroic journey, teaming up with mastermind Humpty Dumpty and the street-savvy Kitty Softpaws to steal the famed Goose that lays the Golden Eggs. It's the adventure of nine lifetimes!

Now that "Shrek" has lost his awesomeness, it's time to head into a new direction, and to tell you the truth, I quite enjoyed this trailer. Puss has always been a pretty hilarious character, and it seems like they kept his awkwardness alive. Looks solid at this point.

Movie Review: "Grown Ups"

Seen on: June 22, 2010

The players: Director: Dennis Dugan, Writers: Fred Wolf, Adam Sandler, Cast: Adam Sandler, David Spade, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, Kevin James

Facts of interest: Dugan also helmed "Happy Gilmore" and "Big Daddy."

It’s a decently paced flick boasting an energetic cast and some so-so jokes, but what it really lacks is an interesting enough story. In truth, there’s not much of a story in this thing to begin with…
