Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Despicable Me features fun characters, fantastic animation and a lighthearted story. I liked it. That being said, it feels like it is missing something. It was entertaining, but the characters are flat and the plot lacks development. Still, it is a fun movie to watch.

When a criminal mastermind uses a trio of orphan girls as pawns for a grand scheme, he finds their love is profoundly changing him for the better. Despicable Me mixes laughs, action and lots of Spy stuff in a way where it works perfectly. First of all the whole plot with the Moon sounds ridiculous but on screen it works so freaking well done and packed alongside with the chemistry between Gru and this 3 little girls it makes for a real heartwarming animated flick. It's not a movie that was meant to win Oscars or last a life time but it has some great messages for kids and terrific humor plus lots of minions doing their minions stuff that seem to work. (A+)

Despicable Me was Illumination's first film and they proved that Dreamworks was not Pixar and Disney's big competitor now. In the 1st quarter I was confused and kind of turned off by the film. In the second quarter I was starting to feel the appeal, the minions were hilarious. Vector really did break the movie for sure, he was so unlikable. In the 3rd quarter things started to pick up and I was liking it even more. By the 4th quarter I knew that it was good. Despicable Me was the cozy not over the top animated movies that we've been waiting for years to see 1st quarter 6.5/10 2nd quarter 7/10 3rd quarter 8/10 4th quarter 8.5/10

I rarely get around to catching a film upon it's initial release, so imagine my surprise when I watch this one the other day and contrary to my expectations, it's not a Minions movie. OK, it's got Minions in it, but I thought it would be all about those yellow butterballs running around and uttering their non-sensical gibberish. Once over the initial surprise however, it settled into a nice little story with an unusual twist - a criminal mastermind named Gru uses three orphans from Miss Hattie's School for Girls in his scheme to steal the Moon, and then returns them when his evil ruse is complete. Ah, but Margo, Edith and Agnes have other plans, and things fall into place to reunite the characters in a heartwarming finale that makes one rethink the definition of family. Still, I wanted to see more of the Minions.
