Despicable Me 3: Fun, frolic & laughter
Rated: 3/10
A perfect holiday movie for kids and accompanying parents too, Despicable Me 3 is a perfectly scripted rollercoaster full of pace, colour, laughter, fun and frolic, not to mention a near-perfect animation story.
Bru finds a long lost brother in Dru (both backgrounded by Steve Carell) and then all the action begins, after of course the mean-lean Bathalzar has re-stolen the pink diamond as big as that mountain you may have moved the other day at work.
This third edition of the hit animated series sees Gru having turned from a super villain to a super detective with three angelic daughters and a love interest from the office. The ever popular minions and their tryst with a music reality show, a jail term and, of course, their return to loving Gru are the sidelights of this cute film with overly accentuated figurines stalking the screen to your delight.
Gru’s twin brother is a blond breeze with an establishment so rich that the Sultan of Brunei may have a complex. The two go on a chase to “steal back” the pink diamond and the chase is quite some adrenalin pumper both for kids and adults.
A must see threequel for comic whirls and some animated violence. It’s a fun choice, full of gentle morals, for a dull weekend.
