The story is of a supervillain named Gru who plans to use three orphan girls as pawns for a grand scheme, only to find that their innocent love is profoundly changing him.
When a busload of tourists stops at the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, a boy named Justin accidentally falls onto it to discover that it has been stolen and replaced by an inflatable rubber duplicate.
News of the theft shocks and puzzles the world.In the middle of a suburban neighborhood sits a black house with a dead lawn.
Unbeknown to the neighbors, hidden deep beneath this home is the vast secret hideout of the super villain Gru and his army of "minions," which are yellow pill-shaped humanoids in overalls and goggles.
When he learns of the Pyramid theft, his pride is badly wounded and he resolves to pull the biggest heist in world history: stealing the Moon.
Gru tries to get a loan from the local Bank of Evil (formerly Lehman Brothers),
where he meets Vector , and finds out that it was Vector who stole the pyramid.
Mr. Perkins, the bank president, refuses to give Gru a loan until he obtains the shrink ray necessary for the plan.
Gru and his minions steal the shrink ray from a secret lab in East Asia, but Vector promptly steals it from him as revenge for freezing his head; Gru makes several attempts to get it back, but cannot get inside Vector's lair.
After seeing three orphaned girls named Margo, Edith , and Agnes get into Vector's lair to sell cookies, Gru adopts them to steal back the shrink ray. Vector has placed a large cookie order, and Gru has his assistant, Doctor Nefario, build several cookie-shaped robots to slip into the boxes. The cookie robots are designed to help steal the shrink ray from Vector's vault. The heist nearly fails when the robots seal Gru inside the vault, but he and his minions eventually escape through the main entrance.Gru begins to bond with the three girls at local amusement park, "Funland." He fine-tunes his plan and presents it to Mr. Perkins, who surprises him by still refusing to give him the loan.
Perkins then tells Vector (revealed to be his son Victor, who named himself after the mathematical term) that Gru has the shrink ray. Though Gru is ready to abandon his plan due to lack of funds, the girls and the minions take up a collection to keep it going. Nefario begins to see the girls as a distraction and has them sent back to the orphanage, breaking Gru's heart.The heist falls on the same day that the girls are to participate in a ballet recital. Gru shrinks the Moon, pockets it, and rushes back to Earth, but he misses the recital.
He finds a note from Vector, who has kidnapped the girls, telling him to bring the moon. After forcing Gru to hand over the moon, Vector does not return the girls, but instead takes them into space aboard his escape pod. Gru gives chase as the effects of the shrink ray wear off (which Dr. Nefario calls the "Nefario principle," the greater the mass of an object before shrinking, the faster the effect wears off), causing the Moon to grow and smash open the cell holding the girls. Gru rescues them with the help of his minions, while the (rapidly-expanding) Moon wrecks Vector's controls so that his pod rockets the moon back into orbit.
Gru and the girls settle down to live a happy life as a family, while Vector is stranded on the Moon. The girls give a special recital for the minions, Gru, and his mother, who finally tells him she is proud of him. The music changes and everyone present rushes onstage to dance. (WP)
Updated:
Tim (Rudd) is a mid-level financial executive, who acquires a negotiation over special novelty lamps with wealthy Swiss businessman Mueller.
Impressed by Tim's ingenuity, his boss Fender invites him to a "dinner for winners" in which he must find an eccentric person with a special talent to invite; the winner earns a trophy and the executive that brought him or her gets glory. He soon learns it is more of a "dinner for idiots", and the guests will be mocked mercilessly.
Meanwhile, Tim's girlfriend Julie lands a curator deal for eccentric artist Keiran Vollard, and Tim unsuccessfully proposes to her, as he has done several times before. After learning of the cruel nature of the dinner, Julie forces him not to attend.
The next day, Tim accidentally hits IRS employee Barry (Carell) with his car when Barry tries to retrieve a dead mouse in the road. Witnessing Barry's bizarre behavior (he stuffs mice and arranges them into elaborate dioramas), Tim realizes he is perfect for the dinner.
That night, Barry shows up at Tim's apartment unannounced, and accidentally invites over Darla, a woman of Tim's who is stalking him. Barry attempts to send away Darla, but mistakes Julie for Tim's stalker, giving Julie the mistaken impression that Tim is cheating on her. Tim and Barry chase her down to Vollard's ranch, where he accidentally offends Barry (which further hurts his and Julie's relationship), but he makes amends and they go to the dinner with Mueller, despite a disastrous lunch that afternoon.
Barry is a hit with the group and is a shoo-in for the trophy, but unexpectedly his boss and rival Thurman arrives and displays his "mind control" power over Barry.
After that, Tim tells Barry everything, and after some encouragement, gets Barry to win, before causing his boss and fellow executives to reveal the truth and cause havoc. Tim is fired, as is Julie after Barry makes Vollard realize it would be a problem to have her. In the end, Tim marries Julie, Barry gets in a relationship with Darla,
does some artwork with Vollard,
and hosts a monthly "breakfast for champions" for all of the "losers".
Thurman gets a new book in the mental hospital, as well as Tim getting a new museum started in Switzerland for Mueller.
After the credits, it is revealed Fender's company has gone under and Forbes Magazine has named him the "World's Biggest Loser."
Barry also used "Playing Dead" as a self defense mechanism in the film giving more resonance to his current dark undertones.
