Finally the longly-anticipated Despicable Me is here! Surprisingly I wasn't expecting this. The number of trailers released feature little yellow men (one with one eye) having a brawl in front of a tall man and another of a boy who discovers a fake pyramid. You are first introduced to Gru, a tall lean super-villain who is competing to be the best super-villain of the year. It isn't a very memorable film put I like the pun where Gru has to go into the gent's toilet to access the Evil Bank (funnily with the line: formally the the Lehman Brothers in small lettering below). The film sees Gru, a Shrek-based figure who has no friends or anyone who loves him, his mother (marvelously played by Julie Andrews) who disgruntled him as a child adopt three little girls as a pawn in a game to retrieve a device from Vector, the top super-villian (Jason Segal). It seems ridiculous to see comedian Russell Brand (whom is getting married to Katy Perry today) popping up as Gru's partner-in-crime. This film will bring the little ones crawling but a bit of a yawn-and-moan for over 10's.
