  Though not as good as a Pixar film, Despicable Me is still a triumph, especially due to its humor and cute storyline.

  going into this film i wasn't really expecting much, i was expecting it to just be another animated film for kids over the summer but surprisingly this film blew me away. The children in the film are hilarious and did great jobs especially Miranda cosgrove because she's always good at playing kid roles ide say shes one of the best of her generation. but where this movie shines is the comedy, Steve carrel and the minions are the horsepower of this movies engine.

  Cute and funny. A very good entertaining movie to the family.

  Funny and cute as hell, 'Despicable Me' ends up being a cut above the average family-oriented animated flick.

• Scott G

  
  memorable, funny and gets to point, it's very rare that I love these films so much, it just fits perfectly as one of those films that you want to watch constantly and sticks in your mind.

  Sweet animation about Gru the wickedest man who plans to steal the moon. His heart softens when he adopts three little orphan girls. Agnes is my favourite. The minions are crazy tic tac like figures. Voices by Steve Carell, Russell Brand and Julie Andrews. Cute movie.

  Despicable Me is fun. It's much like Monsters vs Aliens and Megamind really but maybe with a little more intended 'cuteness' but with careless predictability, albeit unimportant. I liked it. The minions weren't as great as I'd anticipated but were still good,… More
  Despicable Me is fun. It's much like Monsters vs Aliens and Megamind really but maybe with a little more intended 'cuteness' but with careless predictability, albeit unimportant. I liked it. The minions weren't as great as I'd anticipated but were still good, but the 'He's so fluffy' scene made me laugh so much I rewound and played it several times - bumping up my star rating somewhat.

  Gru: It's like my heart is a tooth, and it's got a cavity that can only be filled with children.  "Superbad. Superdad." Despicable Me is a funny and smart animated film. It uses a story that has been done many times in the past, but they put their own little spin on it. It basically has the same core plot as The Grinch, but now we are given a Supervillain who is brought to the good side by a few little orphan girls. The film is quick paced and is as fun as movies for children come. It is sure to keep both adults and kids not only watching, but enjoying. The movie follows a Supervillain named Gru who has a plan to steal the moon. He needs a shrink ray gun that is in the possession of another villain named Vector. Gru comes up with an idea that involves adopting a few kids, in order to obtain the shrink ray gun and ultimately steal the moon. The movie is like a James Bond movie when it comes to all the gadgets that are used. The voice cast is amazing, lead by Steve Carrell as Gru and Jason Segal as Vector. The animation is well done and the whole movie is just really well thought out and put together. I can see myself watching this again and liking it even more. There is so much to like and take from it. There's the little orphan girl who is hilarious, the little minions and gadgets like Piranha Guns.  This is up there as one of the better animated movies I have ever seen. It doesn't quite make it to the level of movies like Ponyo or Iron Giant, but it is much better than your average animated, children's movie.

  Wonderful characters fill this film, in this Annie meets Bond Villain style film. The minnions of course provide great humour throughout, as do the voices of Steve Carell and Russell Brand. Definitely a good one for the kids and the majority of grown ups too.

  Despicable Me was one of the best animated films of 2010. The plot has been done and dusted many times before but it actually adds something to the equation and doesn't resort to rehashing. It also has a pretty good soundtrack. Plus, A lot of memorable lines and characters and of course laughs in this intelligent and colourful animated film.

  I expected a lot more greatness from this one after how much I'd heard about it. It was not as funny, unique, or good as I thought it would be. But to be fair, I also did not see it in 3D, which was most of the jive I'd heard about it. Perhaps I would've enjoyed it… More

  In a day in age where there are more animated films than ever, Despicable Me stands out for its originality and intelligent humor.

  I just love Steve Carell... even voicing a despicable character... he is loveable!

  Cute and funny, maybe to kiddish, but still very good. Despicable Me will bore some parents, and some parents will love it, but its mostly for kids so if your ready for a lot of Dreamworks good attempt to be funny for kids adults, be ready. The plot is okay, it has a predictable ending but the story is sweet, funny, and nice. The characters are great, and I think everyone will love the minions. The music in the film was very good too, a nice score. The jokes will be loved by kids, but some adults might find the jokes for kids ages 3-8. Other than too many kid jokes, this is a sweet, charming, funny movie and but was not as good as Dreamworks Megamind and How to Train Your Dragon.

  I wanted to really like this but I didn't. There were just so many exciting themes and ideas I was looking forward to with the premise that the story neglected. In the end it was just another harmless, formulaic kids film with a disgustingly predictable plot fueled by depth-less characters. It was also heavy on the gag humor as opposed to the witty dialogue that adults are used to for their end of the bargain. Maybe the kids like it but... meh. Maybe Pixar & Dreamworks have set the industry standards too high but the characters and film in general were just largely forgettable.

  The message here is something we've seen a billion times before, that of a lonely bad guy who gets swayed into being a good guy by the love of some orphan children (the curmudgeon in Up comes to mind); and certainly those passages are predictable and serve to slow down the zany pace of the rest of the film, and yet there are moments where this part of the story works quite well. Looking past the obvious plot development however, you get a whacked out story that begins with a hilarious scene at the great pyramids, leading to the discovery that a villain has stolen one of em! That leads to the introduction of Gru (voiced with a totally bizarre accent by Steve Carell), a rival villain whose claim to fame was a long ago stealing of the Times Square Jumbotron. Along with his sidekick, evil scientist Dr. Nefarious (with another strange accent, as voiced by Russell Brand) Gru hatches a plan to steal the moon, thereby making him the most famous villain of all time. If this sounds wacky, it is! And it provides all the laugh out loud moments of a film that has a certain swagger to it. A fine example of realism running headlong into this crazy nonsense is when Gru realizes that he's going to have to get a bank loan to finance his rocket ship. Claiming that "the bank likes me", he parallel parks his huge rocket car (smashing the other parked cars out of the way), and then enters the bank building. He heads for the bathroom where an electric eye at the urinal identifies him and allows the side of the building to open up so Gru can enter... The Bank of Evil (formerly Lehman Bros.). I just about fell out of my chair at that one! There is a Looney Tunes feeling going on here - a nod that yes, we know it's a cartoon, so sit back and have some fun. It ain't Pixar (where most of their efforts, while animated, don't seem cartoonish at all... except the back half of the aforementioned Up), but I found this to be entertaining, if light fare. I should mention that there is a hilarious scene involving Gru's minions that plays over the ending credits; and really, the entire concept of the minions was inspired.

  Good voice performances by Carell, Segel and Brand, good animation and great writing make this movie funny and original.

  Absolutely hilarious! A must see! 'IT'S SO FLUFFY!'
