Lovable Mi(nions)..!

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2013)

Now i am just fresh out of a screening of the most adorable 'Despicable Me 2' here in Chennai and i feel like i have to write down a review to 'pusher' people to definitely watch this one ASAP.Although i would have to be honest and concede that it's more "lovable Gru" than "despicable Gru",i would be a fool if i said Steve Carell doesn't uplift his role with new-found enchantment;while keeping in touch with his usual loathing self,despite the fact that he loses his villainous demeanor and dons a much,shall i say,welcome hero.Come on we could all see it coming.!How else could the second installment have turned about...The lady character in Lucy mostly fills up the empty spaces with good wits yet the character itself tends to fizzle out after a promising intro..It's all understandable still because the tech crew has packed so much content into a 90 min flick that some children might fall out of it,you know..Having said all that,Despicable me 2 belongs right up there with the elites of animation movies like "The Croods","Megamind" and the like...Just enough for everyone..Pure family entertainment... And NOW moving on to the best part of the movie - NO its not the 3 cutest girls in the world (the tiniest one is my favorite by far though ;but the premise of the whole sisterhood thing i thought was brilliant right from the word go),it is THE MINIONS...!Oh yes folks who enjoyed the first part know what i am talking about..It's almost like the screenwriters guessed the audience craved for more..This is the high point of the movie..Whenever the minions make an appearance,no matter how small they bring the biggest cheers to the audience hearts..So innovatively created;these so-called minions,the real superstars of this tremendously colorful animation world are the ones that keep the loaded film intact(whether they come in purple or yellow)..And special mention about the end which is just as awesome as the beginning,maybe even better.. Much highly recommended...for anyone above the age of 1 month..!ENJOY YOURSELVES humans...this flick is only gonna make your heart bigger and your body smaller..!
