So it is summertime. Which means more animation. The one thing which Hollywood seems to do right. The first feature for this week was Despicable me 2 at its premiere show. And to say the least it was extremely enjoyable.
The other studios are clearly catching up to Pixar and this is wonderful for the audience. The artwork was quite good, the story engaging and above all the jokes make you laugh through the length of the movie. The movie follows the story of Gru who is now a responsible father and has stopped his villainous activities. He is extremely protective of his daughters, the oldest of whom is old enough to start dating boys. This leads to some of the smarter lines of the movie. Gru is recruited by the anti villain league (AVL) to help nab a mysterious bad guy who has stolen a potion that can convert cute things (rabbits/minions) into crazy monsters. Gru's partner from the AVL provides the romantic angle, the one thing missing from the first movie. And the minions continue to entertain with their amazing slapstick sense of humour. The minions are adorable, funny and stupid. And in addition to providing amazing entertainment, Despicable me 2 has gotten me extremely excited about next year's minion movie.
The romantic track could have been more engaging. The love ballad that one of the minions sing in what would be their equivalent of Italian was hilarious but the characters themselves don't make you root for them. Apart from that the movie gets full marks. A truly funny movie that made me leave the theater with a huge smile on my face.
