I guess I have to begin with the storyline, so you get the general idea of the movie, well, here you are:-
Gru (Steve Carell) is a mad man who lives in a… -let’s say “different” house/world than the rest of the surrounding houses in a happy suburban neighborhood. In his journey to accomplish his life’s dream (stealing the moon), Gru faces an obstacle. Vector (Jason Segel) “another mad geek guy” is that obstacle. A light bulb shined above Gru’s big head when he decided to use a trio of little orphan girls to win his battle. With the little girls got madly driven in his daily life Gru starts to change. well, not every mad man is a bad man.
My Opinion:-
I watched the movie and I really liked it. The humor and the unstoppable laughs. The minions’ voices that keeps echoing in your head even after the movie which makes the movie post-effectable. The ending is so predictable as the rest of the animated movies nowadays, I mean they had to do it predictable (the good wins) as the genre Family/Kids or the PG rated movie must be
I have this habit that when I plan to watch an animated movie I try to not know the actors’ (characters’) voices before watching it. I prefer to challenge myself and try to figure them out while watching the movie < kinda stupid huh. Anyway, in this movie I figured out Gru’s voice (Steve Carell), Gru’s Mom’s voice (Julie Andrews) but what was really pissing me off is Vector’s voice (Jesse Segel), Although I would have known his voice from dozenes of actors, because I’m a fan of “How I Met Your Mother” TV-Show.And that’s what killed me.
That what I think makes the animated movie highly performed. Different voices of a known and good actor/actress who you think you can recognise. I mean, The known good performance of an actor but the voice is different.
