Review - Despicable Me 2

Daaa Oooooooo Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!

The Minions are back and the whole family will be impressed with this return to the familiar. Gru has given up the spy game and decided to become CEO of his Jams and Jellies company. That is until he

is swept away and asked to become a spy to help determine which evil mastermind is residing in the local mall. Now Gru has a life of good and he must work with a new partner to find the evil that is trying to take over. Can he do it on time? And who is this new partner? Is there more there than meets the eye.

I was skeptical...I loved the first film. I love the minions. But could they really make a sequel enjoyable?

The answer is YES THEY CAN! And DID!

Look, this isn't a rocket science film, but this IS a flat out enjoyable experience at the movies.

I actually enjoyed every aspect of this film. The jokes were spot on, the interaction between the characters was funny, witty and always snappy. 

The minions are spot on hilarious. Their language you comprehend even if you can't understand it. I actually found myself swaying to the music at the end of the film looking for a cell phone to hold high in the air. It was that type of film. 

There are plenty of jokes that go over the heads of the little ones while knocking it out of the park with the adults and older kids. You will laugh at the much deeper joke while your kids are laughing at the superficial sight gags.

I could spend all day with Gru and the minions...but alas it did have to end.

In minion speak.... daaa oooooooo aaaaaahhhhhhh (aka I loved it).

B+
