Despicable Me

Now here’s an animated movie with a razor-sharp edge. Any filmmaker who makes a villain the star of the show must be applauded for his ballsiness, but a filmmaker who goes one step further and gets his villain to "acquire" three little girls from an orphanage is genius. Yes, I enjoy a dark storyline, but this film is far from evil. You will be able to take your kids to see it.

Gru, our villain, is, as the title suggests, despicable. His aim is to become the greatest baddie of all time, and to secure this title he hatches a plan to steal the moon. Because he can’t do it alone, the orphans are deployed, which inadvertently begins the defrosting of the bad guy’s icy heart. Awww.

This is a wonderfully wicked and original film that will have both adults and kids glued to the big screen.

Rating: 5 outta 5.
