Here we are on another adventure with Gru, now with his family,
and Minion crew. I swear these Despicable movies never get old and have been
great so far. When I watched the trailer for this 3rd installment, I liked
where they were taking the story. Despicable Me has some great writers that
have this story progressing in a way that makes sense and is still very
entertaining. My kid is a minion fan, as I am, so we were both looking forward
to see this one. I walked into the theater with the same expectations I carry
with me each time I see these films, there was no doubt I would walk out of the
theater unsatisfied.
How can you not love this franchise?
Steve Carrell is always on point with his humor and very entertaining. I love
how Gru's character has turned into the family man as a doting father and
husband, and transitioning from a villain to an anti-villain. Gru's wife,
played by Kristen Wiig, has always been one of my favorite new additions to
this franchise and she also shined in this film as well. I liked that all
characters received enough screen time, and the story wasn't just focused on
Gru's twin brother (whose character I also loved). The story is well rounded,
and has enough entertainment for the whole family. Not only is the movie good,
but the musical score is everything. Pharrell Williams and The Despicable Me
franchise are a match made in heaven. I could imagine someone else writing the
score for these films...can you?
The first film is by far my favorite,
but this 3rd installment doesn't disappoint. From the opening weekend box
office numbers, it is apparent that we all know that Despicable Me is family
entertainment at its best. These films are as entertaining for the parents as
they are for the kids...B+
