      Directors Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud wrote a language for the gibberish the minions speak throughout this movie. They called it "minion-ese". Each word the minions speak in this movie translates into an actual word.
    • Goofs
      When Gru is laying down the rules for the girls after being adopted, the clock on the stove goes from 12:10 to 12:11 and back to 12:10 again.
    • Quotes

      Young Gru: Mom, someday, I'm going to go to the moon.

      Gru's Mom: I'm afraid you're too late, son. NASA isn't sending the monkeys anymore.

    • Crazy credits
      Two minions take turns trying to see how far each one can stretch their arm out into the audience (in 3-D).

    A LAUGH RIOT! ( Will watch it again)
    Despicable me is Simply Hilarious. This Movie is not just for kids, Adults are going to enjoy it even more. The youngest girl in it is sooooooo cute. Also the Small yellow minions simply adorable and so funny. The entire hall was laughing through out the movie.

    The plot is very interesting to keep you engrossed throughout the movie.It is not a very original plot but has the very humorous dialogs and acts.

    Steve Carell's is SIMPLY amazing, he is funny in a very different way...he is the king of the awkward embarrassing insulting type of comedy. You can't help but remember Steve carell's during some of the dialog deliveries.

    One of the funniest animation movie. Definitely Worth Watching twice.
