Who's in it?  Will "Anchorman" Ferrell, Tina "we bow down to your comic genius" Fey, Brad "Mr. Jolie" Pitt, and Jonah "Misanthropic Rotund Fellow" Hill.
What's it about?  Classic bad guy with a heart eliminates the competition and realizes life's not worth living if there are no more butts to kick!

I have said it before and I will say it again, Tina Fey has single-handedly saved comedy in America.  Whether it's her dead-on portrayal of the ditzy Sarah Palin, breathing life into the Saturday Night Live News or her antics leading to hilarious results on the hit NBC show-within-a-show, 30 Rock.  In Megamind, Fey brings her many talents to the big screen, voicing the vole of Roxanne Ritchi, an independent news reporter with an intelligence and bravado that attracts the attention of Metro City's resident baddie Megamind (Farrell).  He wrongly assumes that Ms. Ritchi is doing the two-step with his perfectly chiseled alter-ego Metro Man, so what's a jealous bad guy with a bulbous blue head to do? Crush the competition!  But, in a classic case of "be careful what you ask for", things don't go according to plan.  

The philosopher Edmund Burke famously said all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing, but in this case evil got bored.  Real bored.  As in, once the good man is triumphed, it doesn't take long to realise that all the money, gold and baubles in the world mean nothing when there isn't anyone to go "ninny ninny ha ha!" at.

So Megamind does what every self-respecting criminal would do under the circumstances, he creates another fine fellow to tangle with.  Newbie superhero Titan, aka Roxanne's cameraman Hal (Hill) would be a mere puppet on a string, to give the good fight but roll over and play dead when ordered to so.  But it's not easy to keep a formerly nebbish civilian who is crushing on our fair lady from taking things just a wee bit too far.  And that's when things get interesting.  

Overall, Megamind is a fun family film that has just enough adult humour to keep mum and dad interested without totally alienating the little ones.  It's a delicate balance that teaches children that everyone is inherently good, even superheroes get wedgies, and that it's okay for heroines to be short-haired brunettes with actual brain cells and the ability to be funny, feisty and fierce! Team Fey!
