lots of fun for everyone

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2014)

I am a sucker for modern day animated movies. This particular form of art has outgrown its previously targeted audience, the children. I have not seen recently a single one of them that was not layered and thick with contents that only adult audiences can fully grasp and appreciate. This is even more the case with Despicable Me 2. From the very beginning of the movie audience can not but fall in love with the main character Gru and the army of his little helpers, the Minions. The gags, the language, grimaces and the tempo of narration ads up to the enjoyment and fun this movie is so full of. The scene at the restaurant when Gru goes on a date with the shallow gum chewing "lady" in a tiger patterned dress is alone worth the ticket money. The smartly placed scenes where Minions are the main cast made me laugh so hard that tears ran down my face. I genuinely loved this movie and can only say that if you feel down and depressed these gray Autumn days, watching this entertaining piece of art will definitely bring some joy to your life. I give it all five stars.
