Adventure

When a criminal mastermind uses a trio of orphan girls as pawns for a grand scheme, he finds their love is profoundly changing him for the better.
Rated PG for rude humor and mild action

Production américaine et réalisation française, Moi moche et méchant est un film d'animation très vitaminé et dans l'ensemble réussi. Inventif, méchant, drôle mais aussi tendre, comme il se doit. L'arrivée de trois petites orphelines dans la vie du méchant Gru va transformer ses ambitions. On pense forcément à la rencontre improbable entre le monstre Sullivan et Bouh dans Monstres & Cie.
Le manque d'amour rendrait méchant : thème éternel qui peuple les films pour la jeunesse et le grand public. Démonstration, bien sûr, dans le récent film Joker. ( )

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.
