Description

Gru delights in all things wicked. Surrounded by an army of tireless little yellow minions, and armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential dad.

When Gru's status as #1 supervillain is challenged by a young up-and-comer, he hatches a plan to pull the biggest crime in history. Hijinks ensue, with Gru's source of funding cut off, he is forced to put an unconventional plan into motion, adopting three orphan girls. Emotions turn a simple plan

more complicated, and Gru's life changes forever. An all-star cast of voice actors makes this story hilarious and touching, with a meaningful moral in the end. Recommended purchase. Ages 6 -adult.

An evil mastermind adopts three little girls as part of his villainous scheme.

Disposable entertainment. It's very funny, pretty much guaranteed to get some hysterical laughter at some point. It's otherwise unremarkable and forgettable.
