SYNOPSIS/PLOT

In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon (Yes, the moon!) in Universal’s new 3-D CGI feature, Despicable Me. Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, 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. The world’s greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"It's a far cry from the Pixar classics. But Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud's nicely quirky, animated comedy has just enough edge to entertain every member of the family (...) Rating: *** (out of five)" (Elizabeth Weitzman: New York Daily News)

----------------------------------------
"So much is going on in this movie that, while there’s nothing worth despising, there’s not much to remember either" (A. O. Scott: The New York Times)

----------------------------------------
"Short, sweet-and-sour, and amusing rather than funny, 'Despicable Me' can't help but be likable (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of four)" (Carrie Rickey: Philadelphia Inquirer)

----------------------------------------
The action and laughs of the story make 'Despicable Me' a terrific choice for families (...) it deserves even more credit for its elegant visual design (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post)
