We always hear criticisms about sequels never really measuring up to the movies that they follow. That made me very unexcited about going to see Despicable Me 2. I really was not a fan of Despicable Me. The plot didn't grab me, and the characters didn't excite me. I thought that the minions were cute, but other than that, there wasn't much going for it. Regardless, the kids were fans of the first movie, so we set out to watch the sequel at the theatre. I was very pleasantly surprised by this movie! It had me laughing out loud multiple times including pretty much everything that the minions, who I feel played a much larger role in this movie did. Notable laugh out loud moments included the fire scene and the minion boy band scene. This movie is truly a sequel that beats the odds. It was lovable characters, lots of laughs, adventure, and a fairly gripping story line. Characters that disappointed me in the first movie were given more life in this movie. I would definitely recommend Despicable Me 2 for a great family movie night! You can preorder it at Amazon here! Enjoy!
