“Despicable Me”
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
A villain with access to freeze rays and rocket ships is no match for a trio of adorable orphan girls. Gru is an arch-fiend hamstrung by moppets. Gru is villainy incarnate — and he picks on children. PG. 1 hour, 35 minutes. Colin Covert, Star Tribune, Minneapolis
“The A-Team”
* 1/2 (out of 4)
“The A-Team” is an incomprehensible mess with the 1980s TV show embedded inside. The movie uses the new style of violent action, which fragments sequences into so many bits and pieces that it’s impossible to form any sense of what’s happening, or where, or to whom. Wrongly framed for counterfeiting, the team members, all Iraq veterans, bust out of various prisons and go after the engraving plates. PG-13. 2 hours, 1 minute. Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
