Critic Reviews for Despicable Me 3:

• “Steve Carell doubles your fun in Despicable Me 3 – voicing feuding twin bros. Carell is the life of the party and the main reason this animated blast of slapstick silliness packs appeal beyond the PG crowd.” – Peter Travers – Rolling Stone
• “Whatever the mood, you'll find yourself in a better one after watching Despicable Me 3.” – Dawn Burkes – Dallas Morning News
• “What shines through is the visual wit and innate sweetness of the storytelling, and Carell's cackling, cueball-skulled misanthrope …” – Leah Greenblatt – Entertainment We­ekly
