The first film was about Gru falling in love with the children, turning a new leaf and becoming a good guy and a father to 3 girls. This is about him, now a good guy, falling in love with another woman and creating a "complete" family. In the meantime, he uses his skills honed from his evil past to catch another villain.
It is just as fun as the first movie. The animation is top-notch, as usual, and the story is both suitable and engaging for families and young children. But the other stars of the film, as with the first, are the minions. They are more frequently featured here, and many even take a turn as evil minions. It's so fun to see them in activities other than assisting Gru - having fun on the beach, in a "bar", etc.
The message is, as usual, about love and family - a father protecting his children, a wayward member who returns to the family fold, fighting for the one(s) you love...
The music is much better than the first's, to me anyway. It is more upbeat and contemporary. I also enjoyed how some popular song lyrics were changed into gibberish when sung by the minions - that was so much fun!
This is truly a family film that delights. Don't miss it!
