Despicable Me 3 is the third (der) in the Despicable Me series of animated films, aimed at kids but not without fun for adults too.
This film is joyful good fun for kids and adults alike. Truly, I just loved it and so did my sister and two nieces who are 10 and 14. Miss 10 is quite the Despicable Me fan so I take her view seriously & she really loved it. I got them to give you a quick lowdown that you can listen to here:
If you're familiar with the franchise, you will be happy to hear your old favourites Gru, Lucy, Margo, Edith & Agnes are back, as well as those giggle-inducing Minions. Don't sweat it if you haven't seen the first two films though and that means nothing to you. I had seen the first one, and maybe the second one, but I didn't remember much and Despicable Me 3 stands alone just fine. In this installment, Gru is in battle with evil '80s star Balthazar Bratt, voiced by Trey Parker of South Park fame. The '80s angle brings some great laughs for the adults and contributes to the rockin' soundtrack.
Reviews of the film are embargoed til release day so I can't tell you what proper critics think of this one but if they didn't enjoy this, they're morons. It's just damn good fun. Highly recommend!
