Despicable Me is just about the cutest movie there is in theaters and yet another movie for Pixar to attempt to compete with. Good luck, Pixar. This movie manages to be funny all the way though and doesn't flounder in the end like some of their recent movies have (*cofWalleff* though I admit I haven't seen Toy Story 3).
Steve Carell is making quite a varied career. He's been very interesting to watch, but I never realized before this movie how good a voice actor he can be. Though it is a pity that real voice actors have lost their jobs to his and Robin Williams ilk, his portrayal of Gru is laughable and brilliant. Like so many real people, Gru is so serious that it is impossible not to make fun of him and, in fact, he pretty much does it for you.
And yet there are moments in this movie that are rather touching. It seamlessly becomes serious when it needs to and never gets depressing or unentertaining. It's "Cute and Funny"! How can you go wrong?
