Family Movie Night - Despicable Me (2010)
Description
This week on Family Movie Night, Mike Hilty reviews Despicable Me (2010) — the animated comedy that introduced the world to Illumination Entertainment, the Minions, and the surprisingly lovable supervillain Gru. Is it a classic or did it just unleash chaos on the world? Mike says it's a wash — and he's not wrong.
🎬 Film Discussed:
- Despicable Me (2010) — directed by Pierre Coffin & Chris Renaud
- Studio: Illumination Entertainment (formerly Illumination Animation)
- The animated family film that launched one of the most successful franchise universes in movie history — for better or worse
