“Superbad. Superdad.”
Gru is a self-styled supervillain who sets out to pull off an impossible theft: the Moon. To help carry out the plan, he takes in three orphaned girls, Margo, Edith and Agnes, expecting them to be useful to his scheme. Their presence turns his carefully ordered criminal life into something far less predictable as he tries to balance villainy with an unexpected domestic role.
Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud direct this animated comedy, and Steve Carell voices Gru with a mix of menace and deadpan timing. Jason Segel, Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier and Elsie Fisher are among the voices around him, giving shape to the girls and the people caught up in his plans. The film runs 95 minutes and was made in the United States and South Korea.
Set in a world of gleaming technology, secret lairs and outsized schemes, the film plays with the contrast between criminal ambition and family life. Its tone is playful and brisk, with a warm streak running through the rivalry and mischief. The story moves between absurd villainy and the awkward tenderness that grows where Gru least expects it.
