			Despicable Me movie character
		
			
				
					So, I finally got around to this movie, and was very surprised to see the main female character, Margo, in what looks like punked-up highland dress:
 She's actually wearing a skirt, but her single-button jacket is cut away to accommodate a sporran.
 
 The movie is charming in its way, probably better if a kid is watching with you.

			Odd coincidence...
		
			
				
					I just watched it with my wife and kids (well mostly watched...I'll confess that I was surfing for suits on the internet at the same time) this morning.  I guess I didn't equate the skirt to a kilt...or wasn't paying close enough attention.

					When I saw the movie it did not even register, but at a second glance, I can see the resemblance.

					I'll admit that my wife and i dropped the kids off with a sitter and watched it.  I enjoyed it.  Gru reminded me of my company V.P.  And Margo reminded me of my sister-in-law.  And the cookie scheme reminded me that I still have a package of Thin Mints hidden from my son.  Yummy!
 I didn't notice the kilted skirt at the theater, but now that you mention it, the jacket is very much cut to accomodate a sporran.
 I wish I believed in reincarnation.  Where's Charles Martel when you need him?

					I guess I just assumed it was a generic "school girl" type skirt.  The jacket does appear like a cut-away, but I'm fairly certain that cut isn't terribly unusual in woman's wear (although it's a bit out of date).
 The movie was pretty good, though.  If you plan on picking up the dvds, make sure you get the 3 extra movie 'shorts'.  The minions are hilarious.

					Ditto. Me thinks more convergence than highland intention on the way she's dressed (drawn?); I think the intention was a wardrobe put together from bits and pieces of hand-me down items.
 Movie was funny! I loved the end credits.
