Plot Summary: In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon (Yes, the moon!) in Universal's new 3-D CGI feature, "Despicable Me."

Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad.

The world's greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.

I saw the trailer, thought it was prtty funny. Then I thought, "Naw, probably a ick-movie." But now that i'm seeing all these good comments, I think I'm wrong, *wants to see movie* As the official "Movie Critic" here, I give this, so far, a 7/10.

I saw the new trailer! It looks really funny like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was! I give the the new trailer a 10/10 just like the Toy Story 3 trailer! This will make a lot of money when it comes out! Now get me one of those minion plush toys from the movie and make one of them come with a moo toy!
