Despicable Me

We just we out to see this on Saturday and I think it is safe to say that we both had a pretty good time watching this one. I don't think it is fair to this movie to be compared to Toy Story 3, in that they are both entirely different stories. Personally? I am glad we say this and not Toy Story. I like new! And I feel like I have to support the underdog here (since this movie kind of got panned by some of the critics' review of this).

Probably the most enjoyable aspect for me here was to see the progression of Gru (the main bad/good guy), which felt natural and not at all rushed through. He starts out pretty despicable, be he just couldn't resist the charms of the three girls he adopts for reasons that are anything but honorable.

And then there is, of course, the minions of Gru... (pictured above) those little guys are a strange, strange bunch to be sure. At first they seemed a little odd pairing with Gru, but as the movie went on it all made sense. They were made for each other!

Anyway, this was a worthwhile movie to see and it was a lot of fun for the both of us. Yes, we are getting older by the year. Yes this is a "kids movie," but what can I say? We enjoy cartoons still and this had us laughing more then a couple of times throughout. Maybe we aren't "mature" and maybe we need to grow up. Wait, who says a person has to give everything up to "grow up"? What's wrong with cartoons damnit!

Yeah!

I blame this on the fact that I woke up at 3am for no reason.

I'm getting old!
