When you are watching a part two of a film you have to bring to focus the feeling the first part of the movie left behind when you were done watching it, it is that feeling that you compare with this one. Well in all, this movie is a little like the first, but with a new adventure, so if you liked the first like I did, you will certainly like this one.

Despicable Me 2 is a 3D computer-animated family sci-fi, crime comedy film and the sequel to the 2010 animated film Despicable Me produced by Illumination Entertainment.

After Gru stole and returned the moon back with the help of his adorable minions and a master plan that involved him adopting 3 beautiful girls, I was curious like any other to see what life will be like for the once notable super villain, turned father.

Despicable Me 2 did not lack in the fun that its predecessor had, the movie now had a new focus since Gru is no longer a villain his life was much different, and his new focus has become his children. The whole fun in this movie has a lot to do with Gru dealing with one of his children facing the adolescence which include boys, and the movie also added a love interest for Gru a woman who is just as crazy as he is.

In this second part Gru is recruited by AVL (Anti-Villain League) as a whole lab was stolen and in the lab was a serum that can mutate a living organism into a killing animal. AVL teamed Gru with Lucy and together they are to infiltrate a shopping mall and try to locate the person who stole the lab and the serum.

As easy enough as the job looked Gru made it more complex as he suspected one restaurant owner as the culprit not because of a proof, but because the restaurant owner’s son has taken a likening to his daughter; so Gru wanted both father and son arrested.

But things got more complicated when Gru noticed that some of his minions have gone missing, and his partner was also kidnapped. With all this happening and the responsibility of fatherhood hanging on him, Gru has to find a way to save his minions and the world from the criminal mastermind.

The voice casting for Despicable Me is one that always thrills me, I do enjoy the voice casting very much and the characters they introduce into the movies are always extreme, that you either find them extremely annoying or very interesting. Despicable Me 2 is a lot of fun and I do hope we get to see a Despicable Me 3 in the near future.
