Minions minions everywhere! No, I'm speaking of the cute creatures in the new film DESPICABLE ME, I'm talking about the plethora of people who were at last nights screening of the film! It was packed and people were behaving like savages! Until the film started of course, because after that, it was a room full of laughter. The film was absolutely adorable and fun for both adults as well as children.
Steve Carrell was awesome as Gru, the evil villain who is trying to steal the moon, no not for his sweetheart, just to become infamous. His evil plot is quickly dampened by a new, younger villain in town, Vector. Now, my only problem with this movie, other than the shenanigans of all the people in line at the screening, was the fact that Vector was oddly familiar to me, oh that's right, he reminded me of a young, very creepy, Woody Allen....
Along his path of destruction, Gru adopts three very precious little girls, Margo, Edith, and little Agnus. The girls inevitably connect with a soft spot in Gru, and are the catalyst for his change. Gru's workers, known as minions are the comic geniuses in this film. Young and old were amused and tickled by these guys. Some of the best scenes in the film were brought to you by Gru's minions. One such scene is when one minion grabs another, cracks his back and shakes him, like a glow stick. My favorite scene though, is one in which the minions high jack a copy machine.
This film is definitely one to take the whole family to see, it was a great experience and I even won some stuff through The Peak 98.7 while waiting for the film to start!
I adored this film, all the characters, and Steve Carrell was brilliant as Gru, at times its even hard to recognize his voice!
