Movie Review #??: Despicable Me 2

Oh dear.

I haven't been on here for a while now, haven't I?

ooohhhh soooooooo sorry about that.

As soon as I set foot in the "States" again, it was as if I had 90 million planes to catch and I just got back from a family emergency mandated "vacation" only 5 days ago and already I am preparing for another family oriented trip in just a week or so.

Power girls don't stop!

But on the last trip I had with my fam, I went to the movies with some of my nieces! And being as they are quite young, we went to go see "Despicable Me 2."

Minions, rejoice.

ACTING
Well, see, it's a bit of an animated film. So the acting is all computer generated and so are most of the things I would normally critique. But NONETHELESS, I was thoroughly entertained by Steve Carrell's Russian accented voice over technique. Being a Russian accent connoisseur myself, I appreciated the heavily foreign linguistics.  
Total Oscars: 3

SET DESIGN/MAKEUP
As previously mentioned, this was an animated film. So there's not much to go on for this field. Although I do have to admit, I REALLY WANTED TO BE AT THE MEXICAN THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY! Taco hats are genius! 
Total Oscars: 3

PLOT SUMMARY
Gru (Steve Carrell), has been hired by an anti-villain organization to retrieve a very powerful serum that can destroy the world, which happens to be conveniently located in his local mall. The agency he is working for has located several suspects in the mall that own shops. Gru and his new partner, Agent Whild, have to search the shops and get to know the owners in order to find the special serum.

Sorry if I got the agent's name wrong. It's been 2 weeks since I've seen it. O.o

Hopefully, I'll get more on top of writing reviews for you. Sorry about the long delays!
