Despicable Me

Filed under Uncategorized by Josh Darville

Overall not a really great movie, but certainly not as terrible as some of the Christian movie review sites make it out to be. I give it a middle of the road on morality, but if you’re looking for a cartoon kids movie to teach you morality your probably stuck on stupid anyways and this won’t help.

YES, the main character is a thief, a bad man, he steals for a living. Big deal, he’s also it seams falling upon hard times financially and needs to go to the bank for a crime loan. This to me was hilarious, the bank which on the sign said, “Formerly Lehman brothers” is run but a dishonest criminal. STOP already, I know. Criminals are all bad. It’s a MOVIE. Chill.

Now, 3 little girls who are in a orphanage are totally abused by this unbelievably mean woman who is just terrible to them. They are forced to go out and sell cookies and then even have a quota which if they don’t meet they are punished in the “box of shame” or something like that. That’s how they meet our “Nice” criminal who isn’t nice until he gets to know and like the girls.

Overall, without giving away too much. GOOD MOVIE.

I laughed, I saw a few indoctrination things there, and liberal things which were said. But, it wasn’t terribly offensive to a Christian right wing conservative.

One thing to note… if going with kids is this one part… that I almost think it’s silly mentioning but. One of the girls is enclosed in a casket with spikes, and after the casket closes, red fluid pours out of the bottom (the fluid turns out to be juice) but it did make me and my wife go… WhAT!? it leaves you hanging for just a few seconds before they open it back up to reveal shes ok.
