Despicable Me (2010)
Country: US
Technical: col 95m
Director: Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud
Cast: Voice cast: Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews
Synopsis:
A world-class villain finds himself upstaged by a well-funded upstart, but his plan to get even includes adopting three orphaned girls for their cookie delivering skills, risking an emotional involvement that could prove disastrous for his reputation.
Review:
The idea of a Bond supervillain living in suburbia is one of many conceits in this wacky, outwardly cynical but heart-in-the-right-place comedy, in which nothing less than shrinking and stealing the Moon is at stake. The three little orphan girls are bound to win over hearts harder than Gru's, who is voiced and drawn somewhere between Jewish and Russian (though there is less doubt about Andrews's mother character), but it was the countless toilet roll shaped minions that really caught the public imaginations - and funny bone - somehow variegated despite their numbers.
