So I went into this movie knowing what to expect. Some cheesy child's flick that would be predictable. Problem is... I actually really enjoyed the movie. Probably because when it comes to little children, I get pretty sappy. So sappy trees get jealous.
Despicable Me is a story of a villain that tries not to be out done by other villains. The problem is he is two steps behind another villain. In an attempt to obtain some property, he adopts three little girls as part of a plan. Of course falling in love with the girls wasn't part of the plan, and it wasn't in my plans either.
The dialog is decent. Not fabulous or anything by far. However there is some adult humor here and there. Perhaps my favorite part was the jab at Lehman Brothers.
The story itself is a great idea, and I thought it was delivered quite well.
I can't really judge the acting, but the little girls are what make the movie. Them and the little green monsters... and maybe the lead character's accent. Yes, all those things. And the little girls.
I have to admit, I am biased. The movie got to me. For those that know me, the answer is yes. I didn't even realize it happened till I had to wipe my eyes. (Damn sappy kid shit).
I have to give this flick an orgy out of a cherry pit (4 out of 5).
Due to technical difficulties, I did not make it to The Last Airbender, so if you were wanting a review of that flick, well... tough shit. However, if someone would like to write a review over it, I will give it a shout out in my next one. Speaking of which, the next flick is Inception. Should be interesting. I wonder if it is in 3D.
Aight peeps... you know the drill
