'Alternate take' on the superhero genre: Check. Fart jokes: Check. Slapstick: Check. 'Cute' sidekicks as comedy relief: Check. More slapstick as redundant time filler: Check. 'Clever' movie references: Check. Anti-hero that turns to neo-conservative family values for salvation: Check. Animation clinically cleansed of any edge, satire, originality and/or stand out scenes: Check. Feeling that time could have been better spent violating oneself: Check.

The lessons I took away from this: having kids will cause a huge shift in your personality and forces you to abandon any life goals you had previously. Having kids is also more important than a steady income or career prospects. Without kids, you're Evil. With kids, you're Good. Time to go build a death ray, I guess...

Very cute, with an excellent score. Works well for little kids, so it functions as a decent family movie (unless the parents are squeamish with toilet humor, which is frequent). Still, the plot is just the right amount of cheesy to work without being sickening, and the character designs are rather inspired.

Decent little family fair that plays it safe and has become the face of Illumination Entertainment with its clean animation and, of course, the minions. The voice acting is all good and the movie keeps the message simple and straightforward. All in all, it's short, sweet, humorous, and overall done well. I don't think I really have anything ti complain about.

This, the latest computer cartoon, has a vital role to play, that of hastening the day when the 3-D scam will have been exposed for what it is and the public will no longer deem the difference from 2-D as worth an added four dollars for the glasses. The scales will have fallen from their eyes, or more literally the shades will have fallen, and along with them the darkening and dulling of the color.

Steve Carell makes a funny voice for an hour and a half and you get a pretty forced plot with shallow and generic characters. However that thankfully doesn't stop it from being entertaining as there are enough humourous moments that allow you to forget about the flaws, until you stop laughing that is.

Highly dissappointed by this movie. It didn't have a lot of charm. Also the story wasn't that original, and it seemed it had to be as cute as possible. I giggled 3 times, but not more than that. Maybe I would've enjoyed it more if I wasn't such a cold-hearted bitter bitch. Oh well! "It's so fluffeh!"

Mistakes - 1) When the girls put a mud island on Hattie's desk, the leaves on it keep changing from wilted to perfect between shots. 2) Vector burns a hole to steal the shrink ray on top of Gru's plane-thing. It dissapears later.

After bringing three orphans into his life, a super-villain has a change of heart because... they're very adorable? Meanwhile, he faces off against the least intimidating villain imaginable in an attempt to steal the moon. So many gags are thrown at us from the start that most would overlook how shallow and unremarkable the main plot really is, not to mention that most of the gags rely on ADD-fueled madness much too akin to a video game (Rayman's Raving Rabbits). At least kids will love it...

First off Ken Jeong is in it which already is a strike against it. Besides that I just didn't find the movie funny. The story is poorly constructed, and i think that is what bothered me most. If this could have meshed together a little better maybe I would have been able to enjoy it more, and then maybe I would have lauged at those mini-twinkee things more. It seemed like the rest of the theatre though was laughing so I am probably in the minority on this (although I am also not 6yrs old)

Charmless, soulless garbage. From the sub-par CGI to the enforced slapstick 'hilarity' of the designed-by-committee Minions this is poor on every level. I know it's supposed to be for kids and that's somehow meant to excuse it for being awful. The "kids will lap up any old shit as long as we push the merchandise hard enough" argument isn't something I subscribe to; not in a world where Pixar (and to a lesser extent Disney) are consistently making better kids' films than this.

This was such a lazy movie. It has a cute story but it is so underachieved, there was so much more to work with, especially in the middle part. The friendship between Gru and the three girls seems to develop out of the blue, overnight even. It bothers me a bit because Despicable Me could've been a worthy adversary to the Pixar domination of animated feature lengths but it seems like the spark just isn't there. Plus, the jokes and fun is contrived, with the funniest stuff coming from the minions.

Many of the jokes fall flat, but it takes so many swings that there are enough funny gags to keep things entertaining for a couple of hours. If you've got some kids to watch this movie with, then go for it - however, you'll probably forget the entire movie in the time it takes to drive home from the theater.

This movie fell short of my expectations. The plot was simplified to the absolute basics for kids to understand, and there was not much to interest older viewers, as is sometimes the case in this genre. I found the father-to-orphan-girls plot more engaging than the supervillain-vs-nemesis plot, though both were rather unoriginal. Steve Carrell's voice acting gave Gru some personality, but the banal looks of the film and the boorish action/comedy sequences made it a chore to endure.

Animated tale about a supervillain whose plans to steal the moon are sidetracked when he's put in charge of three orphans. plays to its strengths: a funny, inventive voice performance by Steve Carell; one gag after another, operating on the theory that sheer volume will wear us down; and a sweet, if predictable, transformation story.

Very sweet and quite funny. It's no Pixar production that's for sure, and overextends itself occasionally in its attempts at having an emotive core. But despite the heavy handed melodrama you'd have to have a heart of stone not to enjoy "Despicable Me" on some level. It is helped by some nice animation and good voice acting. Purely as a kids movie it's undoubtedly very good indeed.

Then the joys of family win the day. And the reformed "bad guy" finds his greatest accomplishment in uniquely voicing love for his newly adopted clan. And I found myself nodding my head and wiping away a secretive tear right along with all the other kids and parents in my row at the theater.
So does Despicable Me, with its comedic boo-and-hiss minion action, Steve Carell-voiced not-so-bad-guy and pint-sized adorable heroines, add more momentum to the smile-worthy animation trend?

As an odd mish-mash of just about everything that can be saddled in an animated film, "Despicable Me" proves to be energetic, heartwarming, and often very funny. The plot and characters have obviously been derived from a couple of imaginative and talented writers, and although the 'cute' factor takes a lot of the cake here, I still found myself caught up in the film's loony premise and effective characters.

I came into this film with absolutely zero expectations, so I was surprised to find this a very enjoyable film. However, it was not without its flaws in my opinion. I have heard many people say Despicable Me is "heart warming", which I agree that the story and idea was, but I thought Steve Carell's performance, although very good, lacked any feeling. Which is my biggest complaint about Despicable Me. So in the end it was an enjoyable movie, but it could have been better.

Little known fact: Vector and Gru were once Public Enemies #8 and #9 respectively. However, after I had single-handedly captured and brought numbers 1 through 7 to justice, by default these two nefarious characters inherited the top two spots on the list of most evil villains. Even though they have yet to make a film documenting those particular adventures, this piece of art is still certainly entertaining.

Great movie! The voice acting is just amazing. I love Segel, Carell, Arnett, Brand and Cosgrove's voice work. Little Agnes is my favorite character by far. I've seen this movie about 5 times now and it still amuses me, makes me laugh and I still tear up at the end during story-time. I love the use of villains and how even they have a heart. The carnival scene is so great... IT'S SO FLUFFY I COULD DIE! The dog Kevin is also a funny minor character. Excellent for a Universal animated movie.
