The effect is Chaplinesque if Chaplin had the latest in gadgetry, because the entire picture is also shot in 3-D that, for once, puts all 3 of the Ds to imaginative use.

This is a self-contained story that stands nicely on its own. How novel.

A LAUGH RIOT! ( Will watch it again) 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 **** 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 **** 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.

Though Despicable Me is a little ragged on story, it's got a lot of imagination and a heart as warm as a fluffy kitty.

Until the "creep + orphans = happy family" formula starts demanding abrupt, unconvincing character mutations, Despicable Me is a giddy joy.

So, yes, kiddies--it's funny. Silly. Slight. Though, grown-ups, be warned: I had more fun watching the kid giggle through the screening than I did watching the movie itself. It's no "Toy Story 3."

Granted, it's a far cry from the Pixar classics. But Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud's nicely quirky, animated comedy has just enough edge to entertain every member of the family.

The film throws so much ersatz cleverness and overdone emotion at the audience that we end up more worn out than entertained.

An animated film with a rather banal but well-made plot, with a dose of irony that makes the film mainly a film for entertainment and not for the plot or anything else, fully succeeding in its intent.

Bu sefer orijinal seslendirme ile izleyeyim dedim ama TR dublajı daha iyiymiş. Ortalama üstü seviyede ama eskimiş tabii.

Despicable, it sure was. By simply using "cute & fluffy" antics does not automatically allow for humor. Steve Carell's vocal talents are shrouded in below-average dialogue from the script.

Gru's gadgets and persona are one thing, but this movie should be retitled "Disposable Me", because everything in this movie is cliché, recycled from other films and/or trash.
