Despicable me- From Mr. Evil to Mr. Nice guy?

Mr. Gru was a villain, a supervillain. A person who had steel nerves and no sense of humour, a person who tolerated less than he could and basically being a bad, bad man. But when three cute little girls enter his realm of villainy, his world takes a turn for the better side.

Starting from scratch, Gru was very disturbed to hear about a villain who successfully stole the Pyramids of Giza! He decides to put his long term plan, his big break, into action. He assembled his minions (cutest little creatures you can ever come across) and his right hand man, Dr. Nefario to explain his idea. He wanted to steal the moon. Ambitious, yes. But first he had to get a loan from the bank to build his spaceship.

He goes to the bank and there he is questioned at his audacity to ask for a loan without the shrink ray for making this plan a success. So Gru goes to a top secret lab in East Asia and steals the shrink ray. Later, as he's getting back to his lab, the villain who stole the pyramid, Vector, steals the shrink ray from Gru. Absolutely disgusted with everything, Gru decides to go to Vector's lair to get the shrink ray. His attempts fail because of multiple booby traps all around Vector's facility. As Gru turns to go back home, he sees three girls from an orphanage come to sell cookies at Vector's place. He is left in awe when they get free passage through to go in because of their cookies and decides to impersonate himself as a dentist to adopt the three girls, Margo, Edith and Agnes.

The girls come to Gru's place and instantly understand that he was not a dentist. He then revealed to them that he was a "secret spy" and he was working on a "top secret mission". With help from the girls, he uses cookie robots built by Dr. Nefario to infiltrate into the vault in which the shrink ray was located. He successfully gets the shrink ray! As they were all heading back home, the girls see an amusement park and badly want to go there. Gru gets an idea that it would be the perfect place to leave the girls, now that their job was done. But as the evening proceeds, Gru starts having fun with them and they come back home with painted faces and cotton candy.

Dr. Nefario was not at all happy having these girls as they were becoming a major distraction for Gru. So, he threatens Gru, saying that if he doesn't get rid of the girls, he would take things into his own hands. But with Gru finally seeing the bright side in him, seeing the good side, will he want to go on with his plan of stealing the moon? Will the girls be able transform Gru from Mr. Evil to Mr. Nice guy?

This movie defines cuteness! Right from our three girls, Margo, Edith and Agnes to our adorable minions, every scene leaves with a sweet smile, teary eyes and a permanent "aww" slapped on your face. Seeing Gru's transformation from evil villain to a genuine father is beautiful. But, for me, the main attraction is the minions! The yellowness, the happiness, the cuteness, it's almost too much to fit into something so small! Definitely a humorous and fun-filled movie. Another must watch from my side.
