Definitely NOT despicable!

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2010)

Had it not been for my 13 year-old cousin's recommendation, as well as general boredom, I would not have thought of seeing Despicable Me. I read some positive reviews, and without knowing much about the film, went and saw it. SO glad I did! I was entertained through the entire movie, and laughed out loud several times (if not more). It may seem like your average, overrated animated feature, but I assure you, it is not. The story line is unique, the voices (particularly Steve Carrell as Gru, the main character) are top-notch, and the animation is just superb. And those little mignons, who I thought would be just an annoying, pointless addition to the film, were so funny and lovable! I loved all 90-some odd minutes of the film- my eyes were glued to the screen. This film can be loved and appreciated by all ages- young, old, and everything in between. Go watch this movie without knowing too much about the plot, or watching too many trailers. I've seen a few movies this year, and I can honestly say that this little animation is easily one of my top favorites of the year.
