Show The Casual Critic by Daryl Austin You can certainly expect big laughs from Will Ferrell both as a character and the movie's narrator, nar-rator, and Jonah Hill (Superbad) is a crack-up throughout as well as a news crew cameraman, but David Cross (Arrested Development) Devel-opment) steals the show as Me-gaminds' Me-gaminds' sidekick, Minion. Megamind has everything you'd hope to find in an animated ani-mated family movie and more, but while the laughter is constant con-stant and expected, what takes you a bit by surprise is the depth and heart this movie has as well. Megamind will affect you in a mega way. Content: Rated PG for mild animated action-violence and mild language. Other Opinions: 488 "Average "Av-erage Joes" give Megamind a score of 7.9 out of 10 while 99 professional film critics give it an average score of 67 out of 100. Should you see it? Yes!

It's as if Hollywood is replacing all of their best writers with special-effects technicians and so most all of the writing talent is going to the animation industry. Megamind is sure to be a mega hit "because it has romance, ro-mance, action, true originality, but most of all it has countless moments of genuine hilarity.
