In this cute sequel to the 2010 hit movie, Gru is recruited by the Anti-Villain League and tasked with finding out who is behind a plot to take over the world by using a transfiguration serum. At the same time, his “girls” and especially Agnes try to fix him up with a woman so that they might have a mother. Gru doesn’t quite go for their plan at first but later falls in love with someone who he eventually must save from the villain.

This is a very entertaining film that makes the case that family is important and desirable. The violence is almost non-stop but is mostly slapstick in nature. However, there are several weapons used that might cause some parents to use caution when they decide to let their younger children go. We are pleased to award our Dove Seal for ages 12 and over.
