Despicable Me 2


When the world needed a hero, they called a villain. Gru is recruited by the Anti-Villain League to help deal with a powerful new super criminal.

This movie needs no reviews for a couple of reasons.  First it’s an animated movie, which these days are always good.  Second it’s Gru and the minions, who doesn’t love the minions?  Prepare for more minions and more laughs that entertain kids and adults.  I felt this movie was more for the adults than the kids, because the jokes were great and really targeted at the adult audience, along with a great story and fun action.  I’m still amazed that the minions don’t have their own movie.  If all the people in the world were as cool and fun loving as the minions it would be a much better place.  Maybe that’s why everyone likes them so much, they are living the lives we all wish we could be, carefree, laughing and joking all day.  Steve Carell plays Gru so well and brings a lot of his other characters he’s played into this one.  Gru has come along way since the first movie and he starts to show us his heart in this one making us cheer for him and hope he really does find true love and a mother for his children. 

I brought my nephew to this movie and it was a sold out show with parents and children everywhere and as I looked around I noticed the adults out numbered the children, it helped that a lot of couples came sans children.  Honestly I think the adults enjoyed the show more than the kids, especially with the adult targeted jokes that were right on target.  This is a great way to keep your kids entertained for 90 minutes over the holiday weekend. 

Enjoy the show.


5 out of 5 minions.
