I finally got around to seeing Despicable Me 2. After the events of Despicable Me 1, Gru (who used to be a Super Villain) has turned into a Good Guy and spends his time making jams and jellies. But when another Super Villain steals a secret formula to transform living creatures into ravenous monsters Gru joins the Anti-Villain League (AVL) to help find the secret formula before it can be used to take over the planet. Gru’s partner is a ditzy spy named Lucy Wilde (voiced by Kristin Wiig). The minions play their usually comedic tricks. I find these Despicable Me movies fun to watch. GRADE: B+
I didn’t see the first one, so not this one. These strike me as the kind of movies I might have watched if they had come on some evening while I was flipping channels (remember that?) on the ol’ television.
Rick, you don’t have to see DESPICABLE ME 1 to appreciate DESPICABLE ME 2. I’m sure both movies will end up on the CARTOON NETWORK sooner or later.
I thought the first one was great and look forward to catching this when it comes out on bluray. Fun movies with a nice father-daughter angle that I appreciate.
