"Despicable Me 2"

[Originally posted on 7/04/13]

Gru, a reformed villain and infamous with moon-stealing reputation, is now a father settling down with three adorable adopted daughters.  The minions help him with his legitimate business making jams and jellies. 

When a major crime takes place, Gru gets called into joining Anti-Villain League and makes close acquaintance with a taser-happy agent, Lucy.  They track down an enemy who steals a serum that can convert tame animals into hungry monsters. Lucy becomes an integral part of the Gru's family by the end of the movie that it seems like another misadventures-filled sequel is in order.   

The stars of the movie are definitely the minions!  And they're making plenty of appearances and getting plenty of actions.  Loads of slapstick humor and giddy antics, these precious minions are crazy hilarious.  Dressed up in all kinds of garbs and gears, they're mimicking humans. 

I was in Los Angeles last week and saw buses with promo ads, "Honk if you *heart* minions."  I couldn't agree more. :-)
