Animated Comedy Kids Movie, lacking in imagination

Rating: 5/10 (1 July 2013)

Newly turned good-guy Gru "joins" some anti-villain program, where he meets his future wife- Lucy. I found her unlikable, just annoying and she didn't really have a purpose. There is a distinct lack of chemistry, not romantic, one minute they don't get on, then the next, they are getting married,(they do need to keep it PG). The movie itself; Despicable Me 2, was not as good as the first one. If you didn't laugh at every last joke in the original, then don't bother. Despite the movie having some funny moments (some light humour for the parents made to watch) and the adorable Agnus being even more adorable, the movie is still a "take it or leave it". The animation is very high quality, and the minions are even more immature as they gain more screen time. Looks like the creators realised how to appeal to the masses. To be fair, it is a movie aimed directly at kids, and if it amuses them, then hey-ho.
