Despicable Me

I had thought the main character "Gru" (voiced by Steve Carell) would get on my nerves, going by the trailer, but I was surprised at how much heart was contained in the film.  The actual plotline (super villains Gru and Vector finding a need to one-up one other in order to maintain their villainous status quo gets side-tracked when Gru adopts 3 very cute little orphan girls, who melt his heart in unexpected ways) is fine for a film like this, but the execution of the animation and character design is where the film shines. Loved Gru's Evil Minions, they were a lot of fun.

Kids will enjoy this film a lot, due to the visual comedy and interpersonal storylines.

I give it 3 stars, or a grade of B.
