Despicable Me, 2

Animation, Comedy
3 stars
Cute, but I liked the first film better.  Gru (Steve Carell) is back, now fully domesticated and proud father of three girls, though tempted to work for the Anti-Villain League (Sorry, but the “AVL” here just reminded me of the Tru Blood organization with the same abbreviation).  Lots of minion antics including a beach scene that didn’t seem to belong in the film at all, aside from just being cute.  I liked the first film where we saw the villain Gru slowly melt over the three little girls, and the minions were something new and original.  This film just feels like more of the same.  But it is cute.
