Despicable Me 2 - Film Mini Review

Gru isn't an evil villain any more, but now he is bored with his normal life. when an opportunity to become a spy for a secret organisation arises, he leaps at the chance.

The Good:

• New levels of cuteness (Gru dresses up as a fairy princess).
• Awesome new characters in the form of an overenthusiastic spy, Lucy.
• Voices from Steve Carell, Russel Brand and Kirsten Wiig
• Still as funny as the first one.
• Romance, mutants and Gru dealing with parent issues
• Best scene: Lipstick Taser!

The Bad:

• Agnes becomes officially weird.
• Iffy villain with no real explanation as to his back-story. How did he fake his his own death and why? How does he have a son and what happened to the mother?
• The ending comes rather too close to cheesy for my liking.
• Don't hate me: the minions were not funny - they were too slapstick this time around.

Overall: 
Very entertaining, but I would still say that the first one is better. Still a great, original idea and still very well done. Suitable for kids but certainly watchable for grown-ups too.
