Looking for a good family movie? Then make time for Megamind.
Placing first at the box offices for two weeks in a row, this movie packs a loaded punch of feel good comedy and all star casting. Will Ferrell steals the lead role as the villainous underdog Megamind and Brad Pitt costars as his haughty rival Metro Man. The love interest Roxanne Ritchi is a wily woman waging war on evil, voiced by Tina Fey and accompanied by her very own sidekick, crude comedian Jonah Hill aka Hal Stewart.
The plotline is simple and somewhat recalls Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, except in this one, the bad guy wins. The story follows Megamind, the only surviving child of a planet inhabited by blue aliens, as he grows up in a penitentiary system, raised by convicts and constantly butting heads with the show off super-kid Metro Man. This all culminates as he reaches adulthood and strives to be the ultimate bad guy, attacking Metro Man and Metro City on a daily basis with witty repartee and poor pronunciation. One day, when it looks like Megamind is losing once again and all is business as usual, a surprising discovery about Metro Man’s weakness is made and Megamind unexpectedly, and inadvertently, wins. This leaves Megamind with the question, what is there to do now that he’s won?
To find out what happens when the bad guys triumph and the good guys are gone, make your way to the theaters for some family friendly and fully animated fun. Bring a sibling, bring a date, bring your grandma, this film is suitable for all ages and audience members.
