Fun for all

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2010)

Went to see this with my partner and not really knowing much about it I was just hoping for a reasonably entertaining experience. On entering the cinema we were presented with 3d glasses and a free bag of popcorn (nice touch), this was a screener so probably a one off and not to be expected again.
The place was packed with kids and I must admit I did have some misgivings at first but once the film started I realized how wrong I was , this is the kind of film that must be watched whilst surrounded by hordes of laughing children.
The animation was very well done and so was the story line, the jokes were easily understood by all and overall the humor was fit for all ages, the 3D effects in most films usually rely on objects appearing to fly out of the screen directly at you but it was more subtle in this movie, which I find more appealing.
I would recommend this film to anyone, with or without kids, it has great appeal to all ages, and stay through the end credits.
And on a final note for anyone who like me is sure that the main character "GRU" is familiar think back to the old comics "Wham" and "smash", remember Grimly Feendish.
