Despicable Me Movie Review; A Summer Movie Must-See!

Tomorrow, Friday June 9th, Despicable Me comes out in the theaters and this is one family friendly show you aren’t going to want to miss!

Synopsis:

In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with
flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to
the neighbors, hidden deep beneath this home is a vast secret hideout.
Surrounded by an army of tireless, little yellow minions, we discover Gru
(Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon (Yes, the moon!) in Universal’s new 3-D CGI feature, Despicable Me.

Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad.

One of the world’s greatest super-villains has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.

We had the chance to attend an advanced screening of Despicable Me and my entire family was instantly in love with this sweet and hilarious movie. We found Despicable Me to be such a unique movie. The plot is just so different than what you’re used to seeing and it’s so much fun to watch the story unfold and there’s so many laughs along the way. More than once my daughter laughed so hard she cried and throughout the entire movie my three year old son was completely entranced. Despicable Me is a Summer movie must-see that you and your children will fall in love with.
