megamind teaches us that if you are blue and misunderstood and a super genius that you can can still win the day and the city and the girl.  speaking only for myself--because i know a lot of people who are not me have not had this work for them--it is absolutely true.  also, you can be an astronaut or a ninja or the president of the united states, no matter who you are.

those of you who are connected to "reality" of course realize how ridiculous that is.  it is all chance and good luck and just happening to be at the right place at the right time.  is that something we could take away from megamind?  answer: no, not unless you want to remove the only thing that makes it stick together.  but what am i doing, demanding that kind of quality from a film that 1) is animated and 2) stars will ferrel?  i might as well complain about water being wet.  you do not watch an animated will ferrel movie to get meaning, you watch it for cheap laughs.  megamind had a few of those, i guess.

megamind gets two brainbots.
