Plot: Gru is a supervillain who needs to steal the moon to gain approval from his sourpuss mother. As part of the scheme he adopts three orphan girls, who turn his life upside down.
Review: This was a surprisingly like-able and fun movie. Even though Gru was a supervillain, he was sympathetic like Scrooge in Dicken's Christmas Carol. The Minions were clever and cute; they stole most of the scenes they were in.
More than the plot or the characters, it was the tone of this movie makes it comic and likeable. The directors deserve credit.
It was great when the Evil Bank turns out to have formerly been Lehmen Brothers.
You need to stay through the credits to test the limits of 3D technology. The roller coaster scene is great 3D too. Pretty cool.
Directed by: Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud
Rating: 3.0 flasks; too fun to be just 2.5 flasks.
More: Gotta love the Minions.
