Despicable Me 2 was an okay sequel to its previously okay predecessor

Rating: 6/10 (27 July 2013)

I remember partly enjoying the first Despicable Me movie. My problem with that one, though, was that I thought it was too cutesy to make the satire effective enough for me. With this version, I sorta expected the cuteness, especially with all those minions, so I wasn't as disappointed as I partly was with the first one. In this one, Gru is recruited to help the anti-villain league with outing a former villain in a mall. An agent named Lucy (voice of Kristen Wiig) is picked as his partner. Oh, and his kids are trying to play matchmaker for him. I'll stop there and just say that while I did enjoy this sequel, I didn't find myself thinking it was hilariously funny. But I was amused enough with what I saw so on that note, Despicable Me 2 is worth a look if you like this sort of thing.
