Recently I watched, Despicable Me, an animated movie. If you're not familiar with it, (but who isn't: there were about a million commercials for it) Steve Carrell voices a stereotypical villian with henchmen, a scientist, and a horrible accent to boot. The plot surrounds his scheme to use 3 little girls, (yes i said use) from an orphanage, to steal a weapon from one of the most disappointing arch-enemies I've ever seen. Yes, I know this is a family flick, supposedly ripe with comedy, but let me tell you, I smiled twice throughout the entire movie.
Most of the comedy was slapstick (which I appreciate when it's good) and stupid humor. I know I'm acting like a jerk about a kid's movie, but since when are hip- thrusts, so bloody hilarious?
I may note here, that the orphanage caretaker is an EXACT COPY of the main antagonist from Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, right down to the pink sweater.
My rating? 3/10
If you have kids, go ahead, but it's like watching a rock for 2 hours.
