After Friday (ugh. work stuff. don't want to speak of it.) I needed a lift. I got several this weekend - listening to Renee Fleming and then getting a backstage hug, for starters, and then on Sunday, chilling with my friends, getting manis and pedis and then seeing Despicable Me (with $1 POPCORN! POPCORN!! I'M GONNA DIE!).
It was a supercute movie, really funny. The hard-hearted villain, Gru, is trying to get his status as most evil villain reinstated after an upstart steals one of the pyramids and replaces it with an inflatable copy (hee hee). He wants to get back at his new nemesis and hatches a plan to steal... the moon!! With the help of his minions and his elderly mad scientist sidekick. He adopts three orphaned girls to assist in his diabolical plot and then, well, can you see where this is going? It's lovable and sweet (and the littlest girl, Agnes, is SO CUTE and her voice is just adorable).
Favorite moments: "IT'S SO FLUFFY!" Agnes, seeing a big stuffed unicorn toy, and then "FLUFFY!!!!" after Gru wins it for her.
The boogie-bots and the fart gun were awesome and also the following exchange:
Agnes (about Gru): He's nice.
Edith: But scary.
Agnes (after some thought): Like Santa.
We didn't see it in 3D, but I totally want to. It was a great, fun, summer movie. I don't know if AMC does their $1 popcorn and $1 drink (any size. It's really cool, actually) every Sunday, but keep your eyes out for coupons!
