If you didn't see previews for Despicable Me, you've been living under a rock. I thought this movie looked so cute, so yes, I went on opening night. I was a little let down by how much of the movie I saw already via previews, but I still thought it was really good.
Gru (Steve Carell) is an evil villain who has been shown up by a newcomer, Vector (Jason Segel). He has a new plot and needs the help of three orphan's to get into Vector's house, so he adopts them. Margo, Edith and Agnes are so adorable, and I will be saying "Its so fluffy!!" for months. Likewise, his little yellow minions are AWESOME. In fact you can go to their website and create your own minion. They and the girls are what make the movie.
What I love about cartoons is that you always leave happy. You've learned a nice lesson about becoming a better person, you laugh, you cry, its always satisfying. This movie had all of those and I highly enjoyed seeing it. If you're in the mood for a fun, happy, mood-lifting movie this is a good one. I would definitely go see if you've got an afternoon and a few dollars to spare. Oh, and its in 3D, and who doesn't love 3D?
