Despicable Me 2 (2013)
Directed by Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud
Starring Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig and Russell Brand
A master criminal has stolen a top secret research lab so the AVL (Anti Villain League) recruit Gru to help find the culprit because who else would be better than a villain to catch a villain.
The film centres around Gru working as a spy for the AVL while at the same time his relationships with his adopted children and women as potential mother figures.
The film has plenty of laugh out loud moments but these don’t really come from the main character of Gru. The minions make this film so much so that it could have just been about them. It doesn’t matter that they don’t speak in English and you don’t know what they are saying because that sort of makes them even funnier. These little guys are becoming my favourite animated characters of all time. The witty one liners and the singing in the film will get you laughing every single time they are on screen.
Recommend
The film as a whole wasn’t the best when it came to storyline but the minions made the film very enjoyable and will make you quote bits forever more. Probably not worth a cinema visit but do check this film out when it is released to Buy or rent.
TheFriedGold rating – 6/10 – the minions were the stars
Film Fact
Look out for the minions in their own feature film in 2014 which will take place before they met Gru
