Movie Review : "Despicable Me"

Villainous Gru (Steve Carell) lives up to his reputation as a despicable, deplorable and downright unlikable guy when he hatches a plan to steal the moon from the sky. But he has a tough time staying on task after three orphans land in his care. Julie Andrews voices the role of Gru's malevolent mom, and Jason Segel, Kristen Wiig and Will Arnett round out the ensemble cast in this comic tale that earned a Golden Globe nod for Best Animated Feature. - taken from netflix.com


I was a bit excited when this arrived in the mail today! I had been awaiting it for it had come out in theaters. Needless to say, I was a bit let-down. Most of the funny parts were used in the TV spots that were run, or other trailer stuff. I actually almost fell asleep during the movie. Even for a family animation movie, I was disappointed. I do give it three stars though, as I know my kids will love it for the minions, and just being an animated flick.
