Gru as a good guy and nasty purple Minions!

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2016)

People are split between loving it and hating it. It's great fun but nothing like the first one! Gru is a loving father to three "nauseatingly cute" little girls but you love 'em anyway! Even funnier even than the new "Minions Movie"! Gru dresses up as the Drag Queen Fairy Godmother of all time when no one shows up at the girl's birthday party. His evil scientist assistant can't stand making bad-tasting jelly so he jumps ship to serve another villain that (yawn) wants to conquer the world. (Still a popular movie subject--look at the new Star Wars) It makes fun of Mexicans, Mexican food, tacky malls and trendy food courts. A send up of "Get Smart", "Gremlins" and "The Hulk". It certainly isn't politically correct. The antidote to the purple monster-making-goo is Gru's sticky bad tasting red jelly! Too much fun with impossible gimmicks and gadgets, and incredible stylized computer animation. Steve Carrell has a job for life! The "fat" CEO of "The Bank of Evil" makes a guest appearance. So does the family "dog" and Gru's Mama. What can they possibly do in next year's second sequel? I can't wait to find out...
