Oh, geez. I really don't have an excuse for being lame and not posting. I have like a bazillion things that I need to review. But I've been in a nasty funk for a bit, as evidence of my last post. However, due to this movie and other recent developments in my tiny piece of the world - I'm back!
5 out of 5 roses.
I have been looking forward to seeing Despicable Me ever since I saw the first trailer. I thought the little yellow things in overalls were super cute. The little kids in it were pretty funny. Most importantly, though, Steve Carell did the voice for the main character. I defiantly was not disappointed.
First off, the movie begins in Egypt at the pyramids following this little boy and his family while they are on a tour. I really had no idea where or what this had to do with the film. That was, until the little boy escapes for his leash (yes, I mean leash) and through a series of events ends up falling onto the pyramid....and bounces back. I soon found out that the pyramid had been stolen and replaced by a blow-up.
Victor aka Vector is Gru's nemesis.
After that you meet Gru (Steve Carell) who is a villain. In order to upstage the stolen pyramid scheme, he, Dr.Nefario (Russel Brand) and the minions plan on taking the moon. From this point the scheming begins which includes Cookiebots, rockets and three little girls.
Edith, Gru, Agnes and Margo (l-r) bond at a theme park.
This movie rocked. The jokes, delivery of lines and the actions of the little minions is a winning combination. There is butt humor thrown in with deeper, darker humor also. There are moments when you will be laughing so hard, others where you will be teary-eyed and some when you just have to say "aww."
I saw the movie in 2D which was good, but if you can see it in 3D, do it. It defiantly has parts that are made just for 3Dness (especially during the credits ;).
Do I recommend spending some time in the world of Gru, Margo, Edith and Agnes?
You better believe it!
