Despicable Me 2

 
Despicable Me 2 (2013)
Starring: Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Russell Brand
Director: Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud
 

I love Steve Carell. There is something about him that just makes me laugh. It took me a really long time to watch "The 40 Year old Virgin", but when I did, I giggled all the way through it.  Steve has the ability to morph into any number of characters, but most of them have that undeniable sweet innocence about them, and with "Despicable Me 2", Gru is about as cute and vulnerable as they come, despite his being an ex-villain.

Gru has settled into his role of being the guardian of 3 girls and we see him throwing a birthday party for Agnes, the youngest of the three. The lengths that Gru and the minions go to, to make it a memorable party for Agnes is very sweet. This guy is a better father than some people in real life!!

The minions get to be a bit more front and centre with this one, and we are introduced to a new character in Agent Lucy Wilde, who had some fabulous secret gadgets of her own. Lipstick Taser!!

Gru is recruited by the Anti Villain League to help them catch a new villain committing unspeakable crimes! He agrees and takes on a new partner in Lucy Wilde, but doesn't realise that being the father of three girls, and still holding a job isn't as easy as it seems.

The minions are adorable as per usual, and I found myself chuckling more than a bit every time they were on screen. Childish I know, but what are you gonna do?



And something a little extra which made me giggle a lot a few weeks ago.............for those who think Gru isn't real. *wink*
