Purple hulk-like minions with venomous twitches and murderous growls? Freaky. Not to give too much plot, but it’s a fun spy/love story that ends with many angry purple minions set to take over the world. His unabashed, devoted love for his daughters is a focus of the film and it is very sweet.Įventually Gru gets recruited by the good guys to help find a very bad guy because he used to be a bad guy and knows what bad guys are about. He says he runs a jam and jelly business, but really you could see this guy as a Daddy Blogger. In Despicable Me 2 we find Gru retired from villainry and hosting a birthday party for his girls.

For the sequel, we get what everyone wants: more minions! While Gru and the girls were lovable characters in the first flick, the minions were the big hit. Steve Carrell, Kristin Wiig (different character this time), and Russell Brand return as voices in director Chris Melendandri‘s sequel to the original $540M moneymaker. The boys never once got scared or bored watching Despicable Me and we were thrilled to catch a preview this weekend. It has cuteness (minions and the girls), it has good vs evil ( Gru vs Vector), but it’s not overly mushy or scary. To be honest, the original is one of my all-time favorite family movies.

Zacharie couldn’t pronounce the original title, and we never corrected him. That’s how Despicable Me became Spicabonie. Usually they grow out of it, sometimes the parents find it really endearing and play along with the mispronounciation creating a family language only you understand.

There are certain words some kids have trouble saying.
