The 2010 cult classic, which now has 6 sequels and counting, follows a reformed super-villain named Gru. He’s played by Academy Award winner Steve Carell (you read that right, The Office fans) as he develops a masterful plan to steal the moon. He is joined by an army of tiny yellow Minions, which you’ll come to know and love very well if you don’t already, who help ensure that nothing stands in his way. Not to ruin any of the fun for you, but this movie is actually quite likable for adults, too.
