The DESPICABLE ME movies have raked in so much cash it feels like someone is faking the numbers. The spinoff movie, MINONS, alone made $1.159 billion dollars, which had means had it come out last year it would’ve been the biggest movie of the year. So naturally the train isn’t stopping any time soon, and DESPICABLE ME 3 will keep things chugging by introducing Gru’s (Steve Carell) brother, Dru (also Carell). Villainy ensues, until ultimately someone learns the value of real family. Did I just give it away?
I like the first two films fine, but MINIONS was about as entertaining as a kid screaming their own made up language in your ear. Luckily this movie will put the yellow creatures on the backburner (I pray) and let the actual characters work through their story. I’m anxious to hear more of Trey Parker’s villain, which I can already sense may not get the attention such a whacky character deserves. Here’s to hoping I’m more wrong than MINIONS 2.
DESPICABLE ME 3 arrives June 30.
