Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2013)

Myself and my little brother decided to see this yesterday in the cinemas as the other film that were going to see Epic wasn't on so we had no choice but to watch our Plan B movie Despicable Me 2.
Despicable Me 2 is a follow up to the 2010 animated romp that follows on a villain named Gru(voiced by Steve Carrell in a Russian Accent)who was planning to take over the world with his sidekicks the minions and his Professor(voiced by Russell Brand sporting an old man's voice)and wanting to steal the moon,that is until 3 little girls takes his heart and he decides not to be the bad guy anymore. THIS TIME....HOWEVER his adopted daughter Angus is celebrating her birthday but she is missing the most important thing in her family...YUP she doesn't have a mother. So Gru's 3 girls decide to set Gru up on a date but when a mysterious red head named Lucy(voiced by Bridesmaids Kirsten Wigg)comes into his life he teams up with her to take out the new bad villain in town (voiced by an unrecognizable Benjamin Bratt from Catwoman),but of course as they try and take him down,the two (yup you guessed it) they fall in love.
So what do I like about this movie; well first off the charcthers and I have to admit but I love the Minions because I'm really not kidding here but these little yellow creatures are SO HILARIOUS especially when they sing there own version of ALL 4 One's I Swear replacing the words with gibberish words and doing a cover of YMCA again with gibberish words. Also I like the music too by Pharell Williams.
Now to the negativity; the charcther design for Gru's love interest who is a carbon copy of Audrey from The Lorax(if you seen it she's voiced by Taylor Swift). I mean the hair,the eyes she's LITERALLY a carbon copy of her I mean were the animators lazy not to come up with something different for her design. Also the story has been done before.A single father being roped by his daughter and falls in love and yeah if you seen it you can smell the ending A MILE AWAY.
Overall I was glad I saw it yesterday and even my 5 year old brother loved it,as did I(22 a female who loves watching animated movies).
Heck I'm giving it a 9 out of 10.
