Despicable Me

[Marcia58]

My 15yo wanted to see the new movie "Despicable Me" so DH and I took him Friday night. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! Along with a villain with the same kind of luck as Wile E. Coyote, there are some funny, touching, and true to life parent, pet-owner, and employee/boss moments. I want to take a carload of kids and go see it again!

I'll be waiting for it to come out on DVD.

You sold me! And I'm not really even much of a movie guy. But love Wyle E. Coyote and it sounds like it's got some of the same kind of adult humor that was in movies like Shrek, so I bet I'd like it.

Andy,
If you've ever had a kid under the age of 10 call your bluff, there's a moment you'll love.

 

[ARGreenMN]

I probably did, but it's too long ago to remember I'm sure it'll all come back to me when I see the movie tho.

Not many 15 yr olds will go to a movie with "the parents". I'll be looking forward to getting the DVD too.

I know! We've been very blessed (most of the time ). He still hugs and kisses us, too--and he's no little wimp! (6 ft and muscled)

Sounds good. Think I will "force" Colin to go with me this week. Funny, as they get older they are not quite as embarrassed to be seen with their parents. I was thinking of taking him to London in September when he feels better. I love London and he wants to see what the electronic rave scene is like there. He says that is where it began. When I asked him what kind of clothes I should bring for the clubs, he nearly fell over. "Mom, they are not really the places for you." He should only know what I was like back in the disco days.

I am leaving now to see "Cyrus" with Marisa Tomei and John C Reilly. I will let you know if it is worth it. Although, I am not a great film critic. I like almost everything I see.

Buy plenty of those $5 44oz drinks when you go; I made the promo cups for this movie. Daddy needs to pay for some surgery.
