For all of previews and teasers over the last year, I was expecting a lot from this movie. Based on my expectations, it was just OK. I chose not to see the 3D version and instead go to a quieter theater to catch this. The loud guy in the back of the room may not have helped my opinion...
This movie felt like a mixture of The Grinch, A Christmas Carol, and Annie rolled into one (minus the Christmas themes). Gru was interestingly voiced by Steve Carell and was a fun "bad guy" that you couldn't help but like, sort of an underdog in the villain world. 
My favorite character(s) had to be the Minions, they are adorable Twinkies looking characters and although you couldn't understand a word they were speaking you could still get the gist of what they were saying.
Of course it's necessary to have a villainous villain, which was voiced by Jason Segel and is Gru's nemesis.
Overall Movie Diva opinion: unless you have small kids, wait until this one comes on the premium channel.
