Despicable Me Was Not Despicable To Me

Posted on 20:06 by Unknown

Okay, in all honesty, I did not have high hopes for this movie. There were no particular reason that I set the bar low. It was just low by nature. From start to finish Despicable Me was some of the most fun I've ever had at the theater. Of all the movies I've seen this 2010 it's only rival, as far as fun factor goes, is How To Train Your Dragon.

Gru was awesome. I loved this character as much as Michael Scott. Whether Steve Carrel chose to play Gru by his own choosing, or was influenced to do so, I thank God that he did. One of his best performances.

Without hesitation I would say that the little girls stole the show. Of course they were animated, but they were so cute. I wanted to take them home with me. All day I've thought about my favorite line of the movie from Agnes: "IT'S SO FLUFFY, I'M GONNA DIE!"I can't remember laughing so hard except for when I watched (and re-watched) The Hangover.

How can I forget the Minions. I would not complain in the least if they started making animated shorts of the funny little guys to be played before any movie I saw. Really I would like to see a Top Ten Plays from Sportscenter dedicated to these guys.

I would love to see a sequels for this movie, and I don't say that often. They did not set it up for one, but it would not be hard to carry this movie into a franchise.

Go see this movie. You'll have so much fun you might die!
