Steve Carell proves that sometimes it's good to be bad. 'Despicable Me' stars Carell as a bad guy named Gru and his attempt to become the world's greatest super villian. This is yet another PG rated animated comedy that is truly entertaining for people of all ages. 'Despicable Me' follows in the footsteps of other recent films like 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs', 'Monsters vs. Aliens', and 'Up'. Carell also got to butt his comic genius against the likes of Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Will Arnett, and Jemaine Clement (who plays Jerry the Minion). The 3-D aspect was some of the best I've seen (it ranks right up there with 'Avatar' and 'A Christmas Carol'). The roller coaster seen in particular was breathtaking and showed us why 3-D is truly the future of cinema. I thought the story was a smash and the symmetry and metphors used were so smart and fresh coming from an animated story. I haven't seen so much thought and emotion put into a non-live action story since 'Finding Nemo'. I really think that hollywood has discovered an untapped resource with animated features and really ever since 'Toy Story', they have taken that extra step to make sure they live up to or surpass their live action counterparts. End result is 4 1/2 out of 5.
