Running Time:  98 minutes

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®)

I had no idea what to expect with this sequel, but we loved it.  The movie takes place with Gru and the girls as a family and Gru retired from being a bad guy.  He then gets recruited by a woman (bow chica wow wow…) to catch a bad guy!  The story is cute and my kids (6, 5, and 2) all loved it.  The minions played a bigger part in this one I feel than the last and really they do make the movie!  We have watched this movie more times than I’d like to count and I do hope they make a third movie as we cannot get enough of those minions and now its interesting to see where Gru’s relationship will go with the new woman in his life.
