Despicable Me 2 review

"Don't grow old soon..." Its the very line that touches me most since I always tell it to my little boy, which ironically this film as his very first movie experience. The usual cast are back with Gru, three adopted girls, Margo, Agnes, Edith and the minions. This reviewer felt the sequel had more depth since it focuses on the family aspects, overcoming fears (when Gru as a child which will be divulged), work-life balance (minions celebrating) and companionship. Soundtrack was well selected and a better antagonist was introduced, It could have been nice to see Gru become a villain but unfortunately his heart has softened because of the girls. We see a potential though with one of the girls. Dr. Nefario has more screen-time than the first installment, which would be pivotal during the climax of the picture. Overall, Despicable Me 2 improves with humor, a worthy sidekick to Gru cuter Agnes, and a more lively bunch with the minions. Don't leave the theaters once it is finish since a surprise will come-up, and our family will be waiting for the 2014 release. My kid was overjoyed, we all laughed, and definitely going to see more of the "yellow fellas."
