About this movie

Get ready for a minion laughs in the funniest blockbuster hit of the year! Vying for the title of "World’s Greatest Villain", Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) - along with his hilarious crew of mischievous minions - plots to pull off the craziest crime of the century: steal the moon! But when Gru enlists the help of three little girls, they see something in him nobody else has ever seen: the perfect dad. From executive producer Chris Meledandri (Horton Hears a Who, Ice Age), and featuring the voices of an all-star comedic cast, including Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Miranda Cosgrove and Julie Andrews, Despicable Me is "rousingly funny, heartfelt and imaginative" (Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine).

If even a tenth of this production's advertising budget had gone to the writers, this film could have been a classic. It most certainly wasn't. Pixar amazes me with their capacity to make fantastic family films. Despicable Me amazes me with its capacity to cram so many cheap gags, stale plot points, cookie cutter characters, and recycled jokes into an hour and a half. I suppose I shouldn't have expected much more from a children's animated comedy, but frankly, this film was dull and forgettable.

Even with Pixar's quality slipping nowadays, their storylines and visual detail are typically far better than that of this movie. It's not terrible, but far from one of the greatest cg animated films of our time. If a movie is going to be about it's "bits/gimmick's", then they gotta be great. Most of the bits in this movie are lackluster and merely fill time between the various story elements. The fact that the story is rather undeveloped doesn't help either.
