Despicable Me (2010) - **1/2
Super-villian Gru (Steve Carell) plots to pull off the biggest heist in history - stealing the Moon. When he adopts three girls to use as pawns in his grand scheme, his life begins to change in ways he never expected. A very family-friendly feature, Despicable Me was the eighth highest grossing film of 2010. It has some clever and fun moments (especially those involving Gru's little yellow-green minions), but overall it doesn't really stand out. I didn't dislike the film, but I didn't find it very engaging or original. Great for kids, entertaining enough for adults, but a mixed bag.
