MEU MALVADO FAVORITO (DESPICABLE ME,
USA, 2010) - It's all
thoroughly adorable, and with an overlay that's nearly as odd as Carell's
accent: Despicable Me looks
a lot like other computer-animated pictures -- white picket fence suburbs,
rounded characters, sleek and modern, but with a retro afterglow. Gru and his
minions deploy all manner of weird contraptions -- that jet-car, which looks
sort of steam-powered; cookie robots that skitter like insects -- as if Jules
Verne somehow got into the Pixar toolbox. It is a classic to be seen over and
over again.
