Despicable Me

Superbad. Superdad.

In a twist on the usual 'mad scientist wants to rule the world' scenario, our 'hero' here is such a mad scientist, who merely wants to steal the moon using a powerful shrinking ray. The problem is that his arch-nemesis currently has the shrinking ray, and so the plans to steal it begin... and fail. Then he sees how three young girls selling cookies are able to get into any house. He adopts them, meaning to use them for his plans, but being a dad brings out a side in him he never knew he had ... This film is releasing in both 2D and 3D, this is the 2D version.
