Despicable Me

DESPICABLE ME (Universal, 2010) D: Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud, w/ Steve Carell, Jason Segel (voices). Rating: NNN DVD package: NN Rating: NNN


A cute idea, lovely animation, graceful colour and design and lots of clever humour make Despicable Me an altogether likeable light entertainment.

Grumpy, middle-aged and not very successful master criminal Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) is intent on stealing the moon, which first requires stealing a shrink ray from younger arch-rival Vector (Jason Segel). Gru’s plan requires three orphan girls and robot cookies. Will the girls win Gru’s heart? Will Vector’s squid launcher prevail?

On the commentary, directors Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud spend time cracking each other up and pointing out background details we’re missing because they go by too fast. Not much fun.

EXTRAS Commentary, making-of doc, music-of doc, more. Widescreen. English, French, Spanish audio and subtitles.
