Hello, Movie Lovers!

Welcome to this week's Movies at Grandmas House newsletter! In our latest podcast episode, we asked: Does Despicable Me (2010) steal our hearts, or does it shrink under the weight of its minions?

This animated comedy introduces us to supervillain Gru and his elaborate plan to steal the moon—until three adorable orphan girls disrupt his evil schemes and teach him about love, family, and what it really means to be despicable. We dive into its heartwarming story, the rise of those iconic Minions, and whether this illumination of villainy delivers both laugh-out-loud humor and genuine emotional depth as Gru transforms from criminal mastermind to devoted dad—proving that sometimes the biggest heists involve stealing hearts instead of moons.

Plus, we've found some amazing deals on movie posters from MoviePoster.com, Amazon, and more—check them out!

What if the biggest animated franchise of all time was a complete accident? Because that's exactly what happened with Despicable Me. This movie came out swinging with a premise that should not have worked. A super villain adopts three kids to steal the moon and somehow turn that chaos into billions. We're talking about a franchise that makes Marvel money, all because audiences fell in love with a guy named Gru. But here's what we want to know. Was this actually brilliant storytelling disguised as a kids movie, or did Universal just stumble backwards into animation gold?

How would we rate it?
