Despicable Me
Gru is a supervillain determined to prove he’s the greatest by stealing the Moon. To pull off his plan, he adopts three orphaned girls—Margo, Edith, and Agnes—intending to use them as part of his scheme. However, as Gru bonds with the girls, his cold, villainous exterior begins to melt.
Critics Sentiment
Gru bonds with girls while Minions provide comedy
Perkins rejects Gru's loan application via video call
The film peaks during the bonding sequences with the girls and Minions, then dips during the loan rejection before building to a strong emotional climax.
Despicable Me starts with solid cartoon absurdity and clever humor, then soars when the girls enter Gru's life and the Minions steal scenes. The film maintains strong emotional engagement through its climax, delivering a heartwarming family story wrapped in silly superhero antics.
