The girls loved the mini movies and the deleted scenes.  I love learning more about the characters, especially the Evil Minions.  The extras just make the movie last longer and this is one movie we didn’t mind seeing more of.

We are huge Despicable Me fans and we were very excited to see Despicable Me 2 when it was released.   We loved it and I actually liked it more than the first one.  It’s full of comedy and a great story line.  I love that Gru is a dad now and he takes that responsibility seriously.   And I love how he wants to live on the up and up and he does a great job trying to stay on the up and up.  This movie had me laughing from beginning to end and I really loved it.  It was great to see it again when the Blu-ray showed up at my house.  This is one movie I definitely want to keep in my collection.

About Despicable Me 2

Gru, his adorable girls, and the mischievous Minions are back with a cast of unforgettable new characters in the blockbuster sequel to the worldwide phenomenon.  Just as Gru has given up being super-bad to be a super-dad, the Anti-Villain League recruits him to track down a new criminal mastermind and save the world.   Partnered with secret agent Lucy Wilde, Gru, along with the wildly unpredictable Minions, must figure out how to keep his cover while also keeping up with his duties as a father.  Assemble the Minions for laugh-out-loud comedy in “one of the funniest, most enjoyable movies ever!” (MovieGuide®)
