Film is a fine romance

Romance will have a green hue that is far from new this Valentine’s Day, and that is because a free outdoor movie screening of Shrek will be held at Wyndham Park on Friday, February 14.

Pre-movie themed entertainment will kick off at 6pm, before the blast from the past with an all star cast begins at 7pm.

Set in a land far away, love proves universal when it defines the adventures of Shrek and Donkey who become believers when they see the faces of Princess Fiona and Dragon.

Despite being a great flick for lovers, it is a full family affair– so you can bring along the kids and enjoy a night out together in celebration of true love, friendship and happy-ever-afters!

If you thought love was only true in fairy tales and meant for someone else but not for you, there’s nothing to lose in coming to watch a classic– you might just meet a damsel in distress or a misunderstood introvert with many layers that guard a good heart.

For those who might find themselves accidentally in love, it is early enough to go home together and put Shrek 2 on.

Picnics are permitted, alcohol is prohibited, and movie goers are encouraged to monitor weather conditions, because if Shrek himself lived in Melbourne and was asked about the forecast he might say “You know, sometimes things are more than they appear.”
