Despicably Adorable Me!
The minute I watched the trailer for "Despicable Me" a few weeks ago, I just knew I had to catch it!!
And thanks to UIP and Kel Li, I did! In advance! Like I'm someone special in this dark, harsh world!
It has become increasingly difficult to not say "Despicable Me" in an annoyingly high-pitched voice and pulling the word "Meeeeeeeee" to lengths that are deemed irritating by the natural world. It's just such an adorable movie!!
Meet Gru (Steve Carell). He's an evil villain. The most villanous of villains ever. Look at that bald head. That witchy hooked nose. Those dark eye circles. He does mean things like cut queues, freeze people, steal statues and national monuments (of questionable scales) and has the parking skills of Mr. Bean.
Together with his fellow evil/mad/slightly senile scientist accomplice, Dr. Nefario (Russell Brand), they make one awesome evil tag-team.
Gru is also father-figure and boss to the Minions. They love him like a fat kid loves cake and they're as adorable as hell. I want one. Real bad.
Gru has a plan. A plan so evil and brilliant, it'll cement him as the most evil villain of all time!! The only problem? An orange-clad fellow villain named Vector (Jason Segel).
Guess what's his favourite colour?
Enter the presence of 3 orphans into Gru's otherwise perfectly villainous life - Edith, Margo and Agnes aka Complete And Utter Chaos.
One of em likes things fluffy and cute.
It's a feel-good family movie with awesome colours, cute jokes, great characters and oozes adorable things out of every pore!!
The movie serves its purpose of giving us a good laugh and making us hope that all evil people in the world have a soft side that can be coaxed out with some funfair games and face-painting.
Another picture of lil Agnes for good measure.
After the movie, we got to meet some Minions!!!! (pic stolen from Kel Li)
If you wanna meet them too, check out this schedule and make your way there! Cedric almost suffocated one when he leaped forward and gave it a bear hug! :P
Be there!!
"Despicable Me" opens nationwide on 8th July.
