Director: Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud
Year: 2010
Stars: Steve Carrell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, Elsie Fisher
What is it with Steve Carrell movies at the moment? This is the second one in two days - and another one I didn't actually mind too much.
Here, Carrell plays Gru, an evil mastermind who wants to beat another evil mastermind, Vector (Segel) who is proving to be a younger, better mastermind. In order to do this, Gru adopts three orphan girls... can you see where this is going? Yes, it's not the most cunning of plotlines.
If what you're after is a fun weekend movie that your kids will enjoy, Despicable Me probably fits the bill perfectly well. If you want something a bit more up-beat that both adults and kids will enjoy, try an older, but better, movie like Shrek.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
