Despicable Me is a fun animation with a subtle message of family and values, cute characters like the minions and the lovely Agnes and beyond all a brilliant work of dubbing by Steve Carell.

Fantastic kids movie and fun for adults as well. Family friendly and good laugh. Some pacing issues but beyond that I enjoyed myself. They were soon rewatching it and still laughing at all the jokes.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first time I watched Despicable Me, I expected a childish Disney-like movie, but I actually got a great movie appropriate for all ages with lots of adventure. Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures did a great job at making this movie entertaining for the public and showing us that even a villain can turn good. This movie has great meaning with lots of laughter. The movie teaches kids and maybe adults good characteristics like generosity. There is some emotional times between Gru and the girls.The movie represents how hard it can be for adults to juggle kids and work. It has good actors that certainly play their parts well, especially the Minions! Though the positives keep building up with this great movie, there are some negatives with it as well. Gru finds himself at Miss Hattie’s Home for Girls adopting three girls: Margo, Edith, and Agnes. The representation of Miss Hattie’s adoption center is misrepresented in the adoption process and is not the best choice for a family that has young adopted children. At the beginning there is a moment when the girls are praying to be adopted and isn’t appropriate if you don’t have a religion. The positives certainly outweigh the negatives but overall, I think Despicable Me is a great, family friendly movie!… Expand

This is one of the most interesting animated films I have seen in recent years.

Its not the first time we see a villain portrayed in a comic way on animated movies, but its rare to see one become a real hero (well, in fact, "Megamind", from the same year, tackles the same theme in a different way).

The film revolves around the figure of a failed villain who tries to steal the Moon, despite the constant interference of three girls he adopts and the competition with a new rival. The film also has the Minions, the villain's helpers. These adorable creatures speak an incomprehensible language and look curiously like cheese snacks in jeans, but they star in some of the film's most hilarious and absurd moments. The humor is intelligent, not forced or stupid and knows when to give way to the story in order to keep the film coherent and with a good rhythm. All the characters were very well thought out. Computer animation, the basis of animations, has been carefully done, is very pleasing to eye of the public and inspires a pleasant sense of realism.… Expand

Despiable Me is a great start. Giving us favourable characters, a well thought-out story line, and a bunch of comedy all fit together nicely. All around, this one is great and I won't ever forget it.

Despicable me is Simply Hilarious. This Movie is not just for kids, Adults are going to enjoy it even more. The youngest girl in it is sooooooo cute. Also the Small yellow minions simply adorable and so funny. The entire hall was laughing through out the movie.

The plot is very interesting to keep you engrossed throughout the movie.It is not a very original plot but has the very humorous dialogs and acts.

Steve Carell's is SIMPLY amazing, he is funny in a very different way...he is the king of the awkward embarrassing insulting type of comedy. You can't help but remember Steve carell's during some of the dialog deliveries.

One of the funniest animation movie. Definitely Worth Watching twice.… Expand

Divertidíssimo!

Já posto bom tempo que o vi pela primeira vez, resolvi assisti-lo novamente, e eu não lembrava de ser tão divertido. Os personagens, de forma geral, são carismáticos e engraçados, mas é claro que a atenção é voltada para osDivertidíssimo!

Já posto bom tempo que o vi pela primeira vez, resolvi assisti-lo novamente, e eu não lembrava de ser tão divertido.

Os personagens, de forma geral, são carismáticos e engraçados, mas é claro que a atenção é voltada para os Minions, que são genuinamente engraçados, a ponto de que eu já estava dando risada só de vê-los em tela e escutar a musica tema do mesmos. Gru é um personagem peculiar, a principio. Se rende a mais pura inocência de suas crianças e acaba enxergando as coisas de um ponto de vista bem diferente do até então habituado. As crianças são adoráveis, e toda trama que gira em torno delas funciona muito bem. O filme tem seus momentos dramáticos, mas sem muita enfase. O que mais predomina é o cômico, que funciona muito bem. Ele mesmo não se leva a serio em diversos momentos, o que tira o peso e atiça nossa curiosidade pelo quê vem em seguir.

Seus personagens únicos - os minions - e toda identidade voltada no audiovisual, com uma musica tema que gruda na cabeça, faz com que Meu Malvado Favorito seja memorável e super atraente de se rever!… Expand

I only watched Despicable Me so that I could understand what was the deal with the Minion memes that moms share on Facebook.

Turns out the movie is nothing like the cringe that is shown in them, especially considering Minions don't even talk properly. In fact it has more in common with the Reddit memes.
The story is quite nice. I like seeing stories like Shrek and The Angry Birds Movie, where some arrogant outcast wants to be left alone but slowly develops feelings and compassion for those whom they go out with an adventure with. Here Gru has his three adopted daughters - Margo, Edith and Agnes. Initially they look just like some cute troublemakers, until Gru starts doing his own things.
The thing which I like the most about this movie is the dynamic roster of characters. Vector is a funny villain who kinda reminds me of Syndrome from The Incredibles, except he's a nerd and has a funny voice. I laughed every time he used his fish gun. I was expecting Gru to be a very annoying character, the way he looked. But his voice is so cool, and the way he was introduced was somehow very satisfying to watch. Then there's Dr Nefarious, who seems to be somewhat of a paternal figure to all the Minions.
Despicable Me is nothing more than what it pretends to be: A simple, fun to watch animated movie with cute and funny characters meant for the laughs. It's something you'd watch only if you want to spend some time with children. I haven't talked much with children so I assume they already know about it, so you can use this movie as a means to talk to them.… Expand

My favorite character in this entire movie is Vector. Anyways, the movie isn't nothing to write home about, but it's still somehow the best of Illumination.

This is their first movie.
