Q: What’s the movie about?
A: An evil villain (Steve Carell) attempts to steal the Moon, in a last ditch effort to prove that he's the best bad guy in the world, but his plans start to falter when 3 orphan girls come into his life.
Q: Who’s in the movie?
A: Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews, Miranda Cosgrove, Kristen Wiig, Will Arnett, Dana Gaier, Elsie Fisher, Jack McBrayer, Jemaine Clement, Danny McBride, Mindy Kaling, and the Minions
Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A:
Go! Whatever the story departments in the animation world are doing, live action development people should figure it out and start imitating it as soon as possible. In some of these animated movies, it almost feels like someone cared about the user experience... and these are the movies that are supposed to be for little kids, you know, those small-sized people with completely undeveloped minds.Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: Most of the cleverness is in the details, so pay very close attention.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: It goes so far as to make you say, "Awwww." Out loud.
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: As enthusiastic as I may seem about this movie, it's not that good.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: I was impressed with Steve Carell's accent-- not because I could place what country it was supposed to be from, but because it totally made you forget that it was Steve Carell. Same goes for Russell Brand, who really sounds old. But it goes without saying that the best voice comes from Elsie Fisher, a little girl who can't be more than 8-years-old, and should be able to parlay this into being the next Dakota Fanning.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: Pretty standard.
Q: How is the story/script?
A: The writers do a nice job of creating an antihero with a backstory that makes you sympathize with him. They quickly establish how mean he is, then suddenly show you why, then the plot sets in motion, and emotionally, you understand what a guy like this is getting out of hanging around a bunch of little girls. The girls are also established in such a way that you buy that they would be accepting of this man's strange home and lifestyle.
Q: Where can I see the trailer?

What a nice QA
The plot of Despicable Me has enough twists and turns to keep things interesting, and the antics of the minions provide a nice side of fun to the proceedings. Also, their reaching contest during the credits is a fun use of 3-D that had the kids in the theater reaching for the screen.
Thanks, Danish!
I saw it in 2D, because 3D is too exhausting sometimes, but it was still great!
Despicable Me is a great 3D movie...
I Like this story....
