294. Despicable me.

This was a nice movie.  This was the story about a thief called Gru and 3 little girls called Margo, Edith and Agnes.  Gru, the thief, steals everything, including the pyramid of Egypt.  His companions are the Minions.  Actually, this story does not focus on the Minions.  So, Gru and his companions plan to steal, do you know what, the MOON!!  Gru has a machine called the Freeze Ray, which he can use to freeze people.  He wanted another machine, called Shrink Ray, which was with his enemy, the villain of the story, named Vector to make things shorter.  He wanted that machine to make the moon smaller so that he can take it with him.  But, Vector also wanted the moon.  The 3 girls were staying in an orphanage, where they have to sell cookies and tell the total number of cookies sold to the principal, Miss Hatie.  Gru wants to enter Vector’s big house to take the Shrink Ray, but it is full of security.  One day, he sees the 3 girls entering his house to sell cookies.  So, he made a plan and adopts the 3 girls and makes them sell cookies and enters the house himself to steal the shrink ray.  At last he steals the Shrink Ray and comes back.  But, the girls become so close to him that he did not want to steal the moon.  But a scientist, who was his friend, convinced him and sent the girls back to the orphanage.  At last, they steal the moon, but Vector snatches it and takes the girls with him, too.  At last, Gru saves the girls but could not get the moon.  The scientist told him that the moon would not be always small.  After a few minutes, it will get bigger.  Like that itself, the moon got bigger and took Vector with it to the space.  This was a nice movie and I liked it very much.
