Our take on Despicable Me 2

This 2013 animated comedy continues the family-friendly adventures of reformed villain Gru, now recruited by the Anti-Villain League to hunt down a powerful new super criminal. Pierre Coffin's sequel keeps the franchise's brisk gag rhythm, mixing spy-caper plotting with domestic warmth as Gru juggles the mission alongside fatherhood and, inevitably, his chaos-loving Minions. Bright, fast and built around slapstick set pieces, it aims squarely at kids while tucking in enough sly asides to keep parents amused. It suits households looking for undemanding, good-natured entertainment with recognizable characters and a tidy comic pace. Viewers wanting narrative surprise or emotional depth beyond the first film's template will find it pleasant but familiar.
