Fell Short of the Goal

Rating: 4/10 (6 July 2013)

This movie might be worth the rental and then it is just something to toss at your kids about 6 to 8 years old. The first movie was hit with both young and old but this movie is just clichÃ© filled with tropes and idioms. Unlike the first story this one lacks humor.
The writers completely lose sight of the good characters from the first movie such as; Vector, Dr. Nefario, and even Gru's Mom. They bring in a new villain who leaves a dry taste in your mouth. The only thing original and funny about him was his premature demise. Instead the comedy falls on the shoulders of his minions. The plot is far too predictable for any adult.
The moral of the tale? Apparently single parents are just no good at raising children.
