Since the first Despicable Me movie came out in 2010, Gru and his minions have been part of our family. We've seen all the movies multiple times. We see them first in the theater, but we still can't resist buying them afterwards. That way we can watch over and over again - at our convenience and in the comfort of our own home.

On June 30^th, Despicable Me 3 will open in theaters all over the country. You can bet we'll be at one of them for the premiere. So far, every film in the Despicable series has been more hilarious than the one that came before, which ups the ante with every release. We have high hopes for the new one, in which Gru meets his long lost evil twin brother, Dru (both played by Steve Carell.) You can watch the trailer here.

With a mix of humor for kids and grown-ups (and those in between), the Despicable movies are perfect for family night. Even if family night means bringing along more than a handful of your "tweenage" daughter's friends.

So mark your calendar and get ready for the latest laugh-out-loud adventures of Gru and his minions.
