Despicable Me 2 – review

Funnier – and perhaps cuter – than its predecessor, this blockbuster animation finds jam-making adoptive parent Gru (Steve Carell) being reluctantly recruited by the Anti-Villain League to bring down a rival fiend. His mind, however, is elsewhere – on the growing pains of his young charges and the wily charms of a fellow agent (Kristen Wiig). The real joy, however, is in the increased role of the goggle-eyed Minions, who outdo Ice Age's Scrat in the scene-stealing stakes. Voiced by the directors in babbling helium-fuelled goobledegook, these yellow weebles are comedy gold, their slapstick antics blending a simplicity of form with a complexity of expression rooted in the traditions of silent cinema. Having laughed my way through pretty much the entire film (including an ace end-credits sequence that will delight aspect ratio nerds), I left the cinema to the sound of a child announcing; "That was the best movie ever!"
