Trivia
When Lucy and Gru are reviewing Paradise Mall shop owners (suspects), the owner of Stuff-A-Bear (a satire of Build-A-Bear) overstuffs a bear and it explodes, making an expectant little boy cry. The boy is the same one that Gru made cry with a popping balloon in the beginning of the first Despicable Me (2010).

Goofs
When Lucy is tazing Gru he drops his freeze ray but when it shows her trying to pick him up it is gone.

Quotes
Gru: [to Dr. Nefario] Just because everybody hates it doesn't mean it's not good.

Crazy credits
Throughout the first half of the end credits, three minions - Kevin, Stuart, and Bob - hold auditions for Minions (2015).

Alternate versions
When first aired on NBC in 2016, the Illumination Entertainment logo from The Secret Life of Pets (2016) was used in the place of this film's variant.

Good animated fun!

I went to see this film this morning and found it very enjoyable. I can't really remember the 1st so I can't really compare.

Despicable Me 2 is a fast paced, funny, feel good film that keeps you entertained from the 1st minute to the last. The pace of the film moves along nicely and keeps the audience attention very well. It has many laugh out loud moments, a decent mix of children humour and adult humour.

The main character Gru (voiced by Steve Carell)is likable and funny. The minions however are the main stars, they had me laughing on multiple occasions during the film. The language created for the minions is very well done as they speak in a fictional language but you can always gather what they are saying.

I found the visuals very impressive, it was very colourful and very imaginative. The action scenes we also very well done.

Would definitely recommend seeing this, no matter what your age. I am 22 and thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It's not just for kids!
