We took our 2 children (5 and 7) to see "Despicable Me" and it was so funny that not only were our kids laughing hysterically through the whole movie, but my husband and I were as well! Kudos to Steve Carell for his hilarious voice characterization as Mr. Gru. While the Minions were definitely our kids' favorite characters, I have to say Gru was mine. The kids were begging us to buy it as we left the theatre, so you can bet it will be appearing on our DVD rack when it becomes available!!
