bob mondello of "npr" gave the film an eight out of ten, saying, "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." mary f. pols of "msn movies" gave the film four out of five stars, saying, "the movie finishes strong, managing to be sweet without being saccharine. it's no "toy story 3", but "despicable me" is a solid alternative." a. o. scott of "the new york times" gave the film two out of five stars, saying, "so much is going on in this movie that, while there's nothing worth despising, there's not much to remember either." laremy legel of "film.com" gave the film an a-, saying, ""despicable me" is darned cute. i know cute isn't to the lofty level of "message storytelling" but it can be entertaining to watch when done correctly." kirk honeycutt of "the hollywood reporter" wrote, "despicable doesn't measure up to pixar at its best. nonetheless, it's funny, clever and warmly animated with memorable characters." steve persall of the "tampa bay times" gave the film a b, saying, "directors pierre coffin and chris renaud craft a fun stretch run, wrapping the story with warm, fuzzy funnies and nothing to suggest a sequel, which is probably wise." tasha robinson of "the a.v. club" gave the film a b, saying, "until the "creep + orphans = happy family" formula starts demanding abrupt, unconvincing character mutations, "despicable me" is a giddy joy." marjorie baumgarten of "the austin chronicle" gave the film three out of five stars, saying, "everyone knows that the villains are usually the most interesting characters in any movie. so the makers of "despicable me" were wise to cut to the chase and make the megalomaniacal gru the central character in this animated film."
