Despicable - no just DIRE !

Rating: 3/10 (26 October 2010)

This film is TERRIBLE.
Ordinarily I wouldn't waste my time even writing a review on trash like this - but - this is supposed to be one of the movies of the moment, movies of the year even. Don't waste your money - It's just dire....
It just does not in any way shape or form hang together. Characters, such as they are are pointless creations. There is very little humour in here because the "story" (I'm promoting it by suggesting it has a story...) just doesn't work as a vehicle for any gags.
I went with my 7 year old - and he got restless. As for me - I fell asleep, and I wasn't woken up by any howls of laughter from the audience.
I love animated films of all kinds - so it saddens me to say that Despicable Me is just a DOG of a movie. Don't bother.
