It's not despicable…but it's not that memorable either. A Frankenstein mishmash of other movies (the aliens from Toy Story, the ogre from Shrek) that is fun if you're under ten and just okay if you're not. What's missing is the actor's stamp on the main character. Robin Williams=genie. Eddie Murphy=donkey. Hanks and Allen=Woody and Buzz. Carell does not=evil Dr.
