Despicable Me 2

Firstly, if you haven't seen the first Despicable Me then what are you doing with your life, go and see it now, then the second and then come back and read this post.

I'd been looking forward to this film for a long time before I went to see it as I loved the first one, and personally I think the minions are the best part of the film as they are so funny and cute. The main story point is that instead of being a lone wolf villain, Gru is taken on by the mighty anti-villain league to help them deal with a new powerful criminal, while at the same time trying to keep his eldest adopted daughter, Margo, away from boys and out of love.

Gru is teamed up with the very over excited agent Lucy Wild to use his evil ways of thinking to track down the person responsible for stealing an entire facility based in the Arctic. They take the roles of cupcake makers in a mall store to keep eyes out for anyone looking mysterious and up to no good.

The film is funny and enjoyable for people of all ages as there is humour for those old and young, and no one can hate on the minions. It has so much going on but its put together so well in one main story line that it flows well and is easy to follow for a young audience.

Steve Carell continues to do a great job in the voicing role of Gru, who seems to be turning to the right side of good and bad, and enjoying the gadgets and craziness along the way. He's turned into a guy who knew nothing about parenthood to a guy that loves his three girls and does what has to be done to keep them safe.

Now there has to be a point in this review about the minions as I simply love them and want one of my own. They are simply hilarious and make every situation a funny one. Everyone I know that has seen this film only ever has good things to say about the minions, and their silly antics and language.

All in all I would most definitely recommend this to people as a great family type film so everyone can have a great laugh together.

Very enjoyable and easy to watch!
