A brilliant sequel!

Rating: 7/10 (24 March 2014)

For a sequel, Despicable Me 2, is brilliant! Unlike most sequels that try to re-create the feeling of the first movie (and generally fail :( ), Despicable Me 2 continues the story of Gru now that he has "gone legit" and is a full-time father to the three girls, Edith, Margot and Agnes, he adopted in the first movie. We see his softer side when he fills in for a fairy at Agnes' birthday party and his very, very protective side when Edith meets a boy...
Gru is also recruited by the Anti-Villain League to help find a new villain and is partnered with Lucy, the "love-interest" in the movie.
The minions are especially entertaining and I spent most of the movie chuckling, often laughing out loud at their antics! Good, clean fun for the whole family, with a sweet, happy ending :)
p.s. beware the chicken...
