Wee ooh wee ooh wee ooh (if you saw the movie, that will be really funny!)
I loved the original Despicable Me and I had a feeling that I would love this movie as well. The first movie had a happy ending, bottom line, family is everyone, this movie had a happy ending as well, go figure and to quote Dr. Nefario, “You can build a rocket, steal the moon, rob a bank, but you don’t mess with my family!”
In this movie, Gru was retired from the villain business, he was devoted to his girls, a dedicated dad, you see that right from the start. The girls want him to be happy, to “get out there” and date, not one of Gru’s strong points. It’s really cute how they go about trying to get him on a dating site.
Gru is recruited by the AVL, the Anti Violence League to help save the world, the girls are so excited! Along with that recruitment, comes a partner, Lucy, who is a great challenge to Gru, in that she matches him in a bit of deviousness and enthusiasm. Can you guess what happens?
There were a lot of laughs, hard not to, adventures, drama, no nail biting, jams and jellies, minions, teenage love, angst and heartache, daughters who dote on Gru heights, submarines, a cheesy music video by the minions, Agnes who wants to make toast, rockets with dynamite and a shark attached heading for a volcano, what could be better.
Ok, what’s with the shark? Is that like the three sea shells in Demolition Man?
