Despicable Me 2 is a 2013 computer-animated action-fantasy and comedy film directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud.  The film is produced by Illumination Entertainment and distributed by Universal Pictures. It is a direct sequel to the 2010 film, Despicable Me.  Despicable Me 2 finds bad guy-tuned-dad guy, Gru, recruited by a secret organization to discover who stole a deadly chemical.

Despicable Me 2 finds Gru (Steve Carell), formerly the world’s number one super-villain, settled into his role as the adopted father of the three orphan girls:  Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier), and Agnes (Elsie Fisher).  All is not well at home, however.  Gru is trying to get his “jams and jellies” business to succeed, while one of his female neighbors tries to set him up on a blind date.  Also, Gru's longtime gadget man, Dr. Nefario (Russell Brand), quits so that he can take a job that will allow him to be a bad guy again.

But Gru's old life comes calling when the Anti-Villain League (AVL) demands that he help them discover who stole the dangerous transmutation serum, “PX-41.”  They appoint AVL agent, Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig), as his partner.  The two set up in a fake business, a bakery named “Bake My Day,” in Paradise Mall, a shopping mall near Gru's home.  As for the thief of the serum, Gru has a suspect in mind, a former super-villain who supposedly died in a volcano, but AVL doesn't believe him.  Meanwhile, someone is stealing some of Gru's little helpers, the Minions.

I really liked the original Despicable Me, but when Despicable Me 2 arrived back in 2013, I decided not to see it because... well, because the first was enough.  I'd gotten all the cuteness of  Margo, Edith, and Agnes that I needed, and I had gotten the best of Gru's character arc and transformation from villain to father.

However, I was shocked to find that I really liked the first full-length trailer for the upcoming Despicable 4 (2024).  So I decided to watch Despicable Me 2 for the first time, and I was right the first time.  The first film was really enough for me.  The girls are still cute, but there is less of them so that there can be more screen time for Gru's burgeoning relationship with Lucy Wilde.  I'm only kinda interested in that.  Gru's character arc in this film isn't as engaging as it was in the first film.  Clearly, the Minions needed more screen time than they got here, although they do play a pivotal part in the villain's wacky plot.  In fact, two years after the release of this film, the Minions got their own movie, 2015's Minions.

Despicable Me 2 isn't bad, but the film's storytellers play it safe rather than advance the elements that made the first film a surprise hit.  It earned two Oscar nominations, one for Pharrell Williams' song, “Happy,” which was practically ubiquitous from July 2013 to well into 2014.  I'm just not sure how invested I can be in this franchise, although the fourth film has sort of captured my interest.  It is really in the last twenty minutes of the film before the end credits that Despicable Me 2 really comes to life.  That's okay for me, but I'm sure family audiences will find it more than okay.
