Despicable Me

This was a terrific movie! At times hilarious, sweet, nutty -- be warned: you'll laugh until your sides split! Very cleverly written comedy appropriate for all ages and all ages will LOVE it!!! Steve Carell is brilliantly cast as the "villianous hero". The animation is so well done, you forget you're watching a "cartoon". The characters are well-developed. Some of the story is predictable, but there's always something thrown in (a joke or clever bit) to make it fresh. We loved the minions, too!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

My husband and I loved this movie - funny, funny, funny. Great ensemble, beautiful locations (I want to move into that Santa Barbara bungalow!), good writing & directing. It's a credit to the actors and to Nancy Meyers (writer/director/producer) that you can identify with the humanity of the situations whether you've been divorced or not (we haven't). Wonderful story-telling. Highly recommended.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Gorgeous

LOVED The Young Victoria!!! Gorgeous period piece w/ interesting political & psychological intrigue ("gamesmanship") romance, drama - terrific actors & lovely costumes, sets, etc. We appreciated all of the historically accurate details (exception is Emily Blunt - a bit "too modern" and MUCH too tall as Victoria was barely 5' tall & Albert was almost a foot taller). Rupert Friend is yummy as the handsome Albert. Mark Strong - good job playing another bad guy. Paul Bettany, Miranda Richardson, Jim Broadbent all terrific actors putting in solid performances & Harriet Walter playing a nice person for a change as Queen Adelaide. Pacing and photography good. We're hoping for a sequel or a PBS mini-series. Victoria = interesting subject!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
