Despicable Me 2

On Tuesday, July 23, 2013 I went to see the movie Despicable Me 2.  This is the animated feature with Steve Carrell as Gru.  It also features Russell Brand as Dr. Nefario and Kristen Wiig as Lucy.

The premise of this story is that Gru has now focused his efforts onto becoming a business man.  He is starting his business of jams and jellies, with the assistance of his friend, Dr. Nefario.  However, things aren't going well and all of the jelly tastes disgusting.

Dr. Nefario decides that this business isn't for him, so he takes up his work of being evil to work for some other villain.

At this point, we discover that the AVL (Anti-villain League) is having difficulty solving the latest mystery about an Arctic Circle research station that disappeared.  So, they decide that they need an insider's help to try and solve this mystery.  And it certainly seems like Gru's on the wrong track, as his minions are being abducted en masse.

What happens in this movie?  You'll have to watch it to see the rest.  I found this movie highly enjoyable...  It was very funny and I thought it was on par with the first one, if not better!
