Despicable Me 3 (2017)






Directed by: Kyle Balda, Pierre Coffin, & Eric Guillon

Written by: Cinco Paul & Ken Daurio

Starring: Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, & Trey Parker




The last time we saw Gru (Carell) was when he was marrying Lucy (Wiig).  Married and happy with their three little girls, Gru and Lucy have tougher challenges to face as they are both fired from the Anti-Villan League (AVL).  Interestingly enough, Gru is contacted by his long lost twin brother Dru (Carell) who explains that being a villain is in their blood.  Can Gru overcome his new hero persona and become a villain again or is Lucy's influence too strong for him to ever go back to the dark side?

It was a cute movie.  I say better than the second film, but not better than the first.

Of course the animation was great.  I didn't see any problems, but the story was just meh.  I did really like the villain this time though: Balthazar Bratt (Parker) and his backstory from the 80s.  He pretty much made the film, in my opinion, more than Dru.

So for adults I would say it's an okay film.  For kids, they loved it.  They were laughing through the whole thing, mostly with Balthazar Bratt and the minions.

3 popcorns.
