I only saw the first film recently, and I really liked it.
It's not just for kids! I was laughing through out the whole film, and so was everyone in the audience, it was full to! On the other hand this film is completely memorable and so enjoyable. All in all, like the first Despicable Me this sequel is fantastic family fun and equal to it. Having more of the minions- one of the best assets of the first film- was a masterstroke also, and their subplot also gave the story an increasing sense of jeopardy and threat though theirs is a little more interesting than that of world domination. To counter-balance the hilarity, the film also incorporates a message, it is a heartfelt one and doesn't feel cloying and out-of-place. This film leaves you feeling joyful and satisfied and happy for the characters and the new direction their lives are taking.

Despicable Me 2 is a fast paced, funny, feel good film that keeps you entertained from the 1st minute to the last. Usually, the second films aren't better than the first, but boy was I wrong! My friend told me the directors made up a little language and did the voices, and I was very impressed, for you could hear a hint of English in every word they said. Despicable Me 2 was just as good as the first one, maybe not as fresh in terms of plot but what worked so well in the first works equally well here. It's not just for kids!
