Likable but not as good as first. A little small minded

Rating: 5/10 (27 July 2013)

This movie was a little fun. Especially when the minions are involved but honestly, I am so sick of Disney/Pixar feeling they have to turn to the 'love story' as a result for creating a plot. And the fact that this film had a "everyone should have a mommy" sub-plot in it made me really upset for all the children out there watching it that have a single-parent house-hold (which is a lot of kids out there). The original was more positive since three girls were being adopted from an orphanage (positive and an inspiration for children in an orphanage or not-so-good-household)in which all they wanted was someone to love them (which in the end happens in the original story) but now the focus has been switched to everyone has to find love to be happy 'with a significant other'. I feel this is a step backward for people's moral values. Don't get me wrong, I saw it in 3D which I would recommend (especially at the end with the Minions!!!) but if you are expecting it to exceed the original, as far as funniness, you're wrong. Otherwise, it's a good kids movie with enjoyable parts and I would definitely rent it if you have a 3D TV.
