Despicable Me: A must see family film

Rating: 9/10 (29 August 2010)

The movie "Despicable Me" is an incredible movie. There were several different reasons I loved the movie. I really loved the underlying theme and message of the movie; which was certain situations can come along that can really change a person's demeanor. In this movie it was the girls that came along helped changed Gru's bad guy persona. I also loved that Steve Carell did all of the animations for the movie. This movie was a hilarious family movie that every family should see.
There were also a few things in the movie that were not very good. I did not like that the minions spoke in a weird language that you could not understand. I also didn't like the character Vector. I didn't like how he kept trying to beat Gru to shrink the moon. I thought they could have played that out differently.
The movie "Despicable Me" could compare to the movie "UP". They are very similar because they both have characters who adopt children, and they turn the bad guys into good guys. I thought that "Despicable Me" was a better movie. They really portrayed the change from bad guy to good guy a lot better in "Despicable Me". You were able to see the change more clearly. However I loved the ending to "UP" a lot better than "Despicable Me". I thought that the ending to "UP" gave a great closure to the movie, but in "Despicable Me" it gave you the room to make your own assumptions.
