Synopsis: 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).

Despicable Me 7.5

I had heard a lot of good things about ‘Despicable Me’ and it seemed decent enough, so I picked it up.

It is exactly that: decent enough. It’s not great, but it’s fun. It’s hardly original, but it has enough little twists to keep it fresh.

It was amusing, but not as funny as expected. The animation was pretty good but it didn’t blow me away. It’s a little sappy, but nothing more than films of its ilk.

I don’t really have much to say about this one.

I liked it. It was good fun.
