Gru is recruited by the Anti-Villain League to help deal with a powerful new super criminal.

I’ll admit it, I am pretty sure the only reason why I actually decided to watch this one was because of the minions, particularly the Minions Banana Song teaser trailer (yes it can be that easy for a movie to get my attention).
It was good to see that this movie did not fall into the trap of some other franchises when key actors are not available to reprise their roles in the sequel and are replaced by other actors.
Despicable Me 2 is not sugary sweet like some other family movies have tendency to be and if you look close enough the references and parodies enough that will make fun Mum and Dad when they watch this one with the kids.
