The world's greatest villain (Steve Carell) has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.
Despicable Me is quite possibly the best children's film to come out in a long time.
I took my kids to see it in the cinema when it came out last year, and they both loved it. One is seven, the other is sixteen, and that it appealed to both of them, and to me as an adult, I think is really quite impressive. A lot of films these days made for children tend not to have much appeal to parents, which I think is a real shame. Despicable Me, on the other hand, is an excellent film that seems to have a really broad audience age range, and is one of those few brilliant films able to transcend all ages.
The actors in the film were absolutely perfectly cast for the voices of the characters they play. Steve Carell takes the lead role of Gru, a not-so-evil genius whose grand scheming to become a feared villain never quite comes to fruition. He then finds that in order to succeed, he must adopt three of the most adorable children to have ever existed in animation, particularly the youngest, Agnes.
Despicable Me is just a lot of fun for all the family - parents and kids alike. It's got a lot of laughs in it, but a lot of heart as well, and I think that the combination of the two helps it appeal to everyone. And it of course doesn't hurt that Gru has a team of little minions that, like the adopted children, are incredibly lovable. If you've got kids that haven't yet seen this film, I think there's an almost certain chance that they'd love to see it and would enjoy it right the way through. I know that mine did, and I know that I did.

In a happy suburban neighbourhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbours, hidden deep beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by an army of tireless, little yellow minions, we discover Gru (Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon (Yes, the moon!) to prove to his Mum (Julie Andrews) that he is better than the other super-villains, especially the new kid on the block, Vector (Jason Segal). Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze guns and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad. One of the world's greatest super-villains has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes in the box office hit Despicable Me. 3 brand new Minion Movies: Home Makeover, Orientation Day and Banana Voices Of Despicable Me The World Of Despicable Me Despicable Beats A Global Effort Gru's Rocket Builder Game Super Silly Fun Land Games Feature commentary Actors Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Will Arnett, Kristen Wiig, Danny McBride, Miranda Cosgrove, Jack McBrayer, Mindy Kaling, Jemaine Clement & Julie Andrews Director Pierre Coffin & Chris Renaud Certificate Universal Suitable for All Year 2010 Screen Widescreen 1.85:1 Anamorphic Languages English - Dolby Digital (5.1) Additional Languages English Audio Description Subtitles English for the hearing impaired Closed Captions Yes Duration 1 hour and 31 minutes (approx)
