Life has been going well for Gru, his three adopted daughters are crazy about him and things are all hunky-dory. However there was a recent robbery of a PX-47 (a chemical that causes a monstrous transformation of whatever is injected with it) test facility in the arctic by an unknown villain. The AVL (Anti-Villain League) will do anything to stop them, even if it means collaborating with a retired Villain. Re-enter Gru, with a mission to find remnants of the chemical and stop the evil mastermind behind it.
Despicable Me 2 isn't as top notch as one would hope. Maybe I have been spoiled by Disney and Pixar's always solid films, or perhaps Despicable Me 2 just isn't as poignant as other children's movies. Yes the minions are a riot and the littlest girl Agnes makes your heart melt but the story never really draws you in. I enjoyed my viewing of it but only because the little yellow guys tickled my funny bone. If you're heading out to the theater next week Despicable Me 2 would be a safe pick.
In Theaters Wednesday July 3rd
