Strictly for kids. I laughed maybe 3 times out loud. Very tired jokes, nothing really funny and new if you've seen the trailers.

In fact, it really a story about some terrible animation (from a much overused style) about a guy who isn't really that bad (he has minions that he does care about - knows their names, asks how they're doing...), isn't very good at pulling off bad pranks (steals the Statue of Liberty - the small one from Las Vegas), and is just focused on the moon from a childhood experience. The movie handles the 'adoption' terribly - I mean can you really walk into an orphanage and bring home 3 kids in a day on the basis of some obviously made up references? There are just so many things wrong with the plot it's just ridiculous, but even if you want to give it a pass because it's a "kid's movie" and you have to pretend to be stupid for those types of movies, then fine let's focus on the animation. Somewhere between Shrek and The Incredibles, it became "the thing" to do a certain type of animation that got just enough realism to do people correctly, but not too much to be freaky.

La historia guarda un buen mensaje sin embargo mi villano favorito es una completa basura que lamento recordar buenos personajes tiernos pero completamente ridiculos.

I hate all of them. Every single one, same plot, same cringyness. Please stop making them.

Despicable, it sure was. By simply using "cute & fluffy" antics does not automatically allow for humor. Steve Carell's vocal talents are shrouded in below-average dialogue from the script.

Gru's gadgets and persona are one thing, but this movie should be retitled "Disposable Me", because everything in this movie is cliché, recycled from other films and/or trash.

Used to be fun to watch, but ever since those Minions took things too far, with merchandise and a souless and dumb spin-off movie I am getting really sick and tired of Despicable Me.
