Set A Villain To Catch A Villain

Rating: 7/10 (23 July 2013)

After being nabbed in the original Despicable Me, Steve Carrell as Gru is given a kind of furlough from villainy and attempts to go straight with his kids. But a top secret laboratory is stolen from its Arctic site, I mean the whole building is just lifted from the ground with a giant magnet and transported to wherever. Those research facilities in the wrong hands could have a devastating impact on humankind so we set a villain to catch a villain.
Kristen Wiig returns as Lucy, agent from the anti-villain league and truth be told she's enjoying the assignment though even because she brought Gru down in the first Despicable Me, she has a thing for him.
As for Gru he suspects that supervillain El Macho whom he runs into in a mall hasn't retired from the villainy business. I really did like what Benjamin Bratt did with his character. Sounds like he was having a great old time with the part.
Despicable Me 2 is a nice animated feature good for the whole family.
