The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present a review for the kids film, "Despicable Me." In this film a criminal mastermind, Gru, uses orphan girls to help in his attempt to steal a "shrink-ray" from yet another criminal mastermind. He does find that their love has changed him though . . . for the better.
Lets begin with the positives shall we? Well Gru is voiced by Steve Carell and I think they could have found no one better for the job. He just fits the character extremely well. Russell Brand and Jason Segel are also in this film and I think they are great for their characters as well. I do also enjoy Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, and Elsie Kate Fisher as the orphan girls. Perfect job finding the right voices for the film! The characters you care the most about are the orphan girls and Gru, but who you are going to love the most is "the minions." The little yellowish creatures that you can see in the poster above. They are the main comedic relief in this film, and what I enjoyed most about this film. The minions are what also keep the parents enjoying the film along with the kids. It is great when a kids movie can bring enjoyment to the children and the parents or the older kids that have to sit and watch it with them. The film has a good message to it which is love and family. I think the directors of this movies, Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud, did a good job with a great kids film. I believe it must be hard to make a good kids film that parents and children enjoy, but they did it just perfectly. This movie also just looks cool, you know what I mean? It has a good look to it. The animation I guess is what I am trying to get at is just visually great.
Negatives though that I will have to give it? This being a professional (in a way) review I have to say that the plot is jumpy and seems to be rushed. It is all that inventive (if you know what I mean) either. The action that is involved in this film is short and just over-the-top. Not at all that interesting also.
So all-in-all what is this film deserve? Well a GREAT kids film and a good family film for everyone to enjoy! It will get a popcorn night rating along with a DVD buy-worthy rating. You and your kids will want to watch it again sometime. As for the rating out of five, "Despicable Me" will get a well deserved 3.5/5 rating.
