Some supervillains can manipulate metal with their psychic powers, ripping gigantic bridges from their foundations and relocating them to a new spot. Others can hold entire cities hostage with their anarchic, psychotic behavior. And Others just want to pummel the living daylights out of their superhero enemies just for the hell of it. And then, there’s Gru.
Poor Gru. He wants to be a bad ass supervillain but he has yet to impress the authorities, his next door neighbors and even his mom. His accomplishments leave a lot to be desired. He pops children’s balloons and freezes everybody with his freezing gun at a coffee shop so he can cut in front of the line. His past misdeeds include stealing the Times Square Jumbotron and the Statue of Liberty…from a souvenir shop in Las Vegas. He is a good motivational speaker, though, sharing in grandiose terms his evil schemes with his minions: tiny yellow capsule-shaped one and two-eyed adorable creatures.
Gru now finds himself upstaged by Vector, a bratty supervillain who has stolen the Great Pyramid of Egypt. So, Gru concocts a bold, new plan: to steal the moon by shrinking it. To do so, he needs to secure a loan from the Bank Of Villains and in order to secure the loan he must steal a shrink gun being developed in China. Gru steals it to have it stolen from him by Vector. Could somebody please give Gru a break here?
With a title like “Despicable Me” you would expect Gru to be…well, quite despicable actually. But even the Uncle Fester-type design of the character gives away the fact that Gru is a villain with a heart of gold. So, it should not surprise anyone that, once he adopts a trio of girls to help him retrieve the gun from Vector’s highly secured lair, he will eventually succumb to their charms and his repressed fatherly instincts and give them the home and love they never knew.
