a review

This "review" is probably only a tiny bit pertinent, and only to people who are like me: only really get to go to the movies that your kids want to go too. As much and as many movies as I'd like to see right now, my pocketbook just can't keep up. And 3D kid movie everything isn't really helping the cost of a movie. But that's a whole other ramble.

A big part of kid movie watching is as follows. Movie A becomes a mix of Movie B and C. For example, take a dog and mix it with "Kindergarten Cop" and "All Dogs Go to Heaven" or whatever, (I'm making this up but to make my point) then knowing how ridiculous a dead cop's body is entering a dog, who could then talk, but only to his dead partner: a big fat pass to most of the movies that my kid wants to see, however, we end up going just for something to do together and in some small ridiculous plotted stories I end up finding out that I don't mind a kid movie here or there once in awhile. (and it keeps little mister happy)

So with all of that said, Despicable Me was a mix of Annie (orphan's) and Up (old guy set in his ways ends up loving the kids). And The Incredible’s (the character's body shapes)? And Batman(only for all the weapons that just pop out of nowhere made by one master mind that is not the villain)? Thankfully it's missing whatever made Annie so boring, and whatever made every character in UP so irritating.

In Despicable Me, we've got a whole team of super villain’s who plot to outdo each other, being funded by the bank of villains. There are a few different ideas - stealing the moon, a pyramid, or anything worth making the news as the "WORST" villain yet. Also an army of little hilarious minions, a crazy doctor that is the brains behind all of the weapons used to create these news worthy plots of criminal action. It was great. The 3D was great. We had popcorn (of course), and it too was great. This is getting rambly-er. In the end, little mister and I would see it again.
