Despicably cute

Despicable Me (2010)

Heard some quite good reviews about this one so I was looking forward to seeing it. Well, cute is the proper word to describe it I guess. But I kind of felt it wasn't for me. I guess kids will love it and most of the parents too as it has that adorable good feeling all around it. The main character tries to be evil so hard it makes it cute, the little girls are cute, the minions are cute and even the killer "dog" turns out to be cute. So the movie plays it safe and is, well, cute. The plot is very predictable and offers just what you would expect. There's of course quite a bit of action to keep the entertainment values up and the comedy is surprisingly refined not taking the usual goofball route. The voice acting is not bad either and the animation is quite great. So there's some things right in this one, but don't really know why I felt a bit sick after this movie, too much sugar and cuteness I guess.
