Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
[A] remarkably tepid sequel to the surprise 2010 hit ...

fresh:
As a sequel [it] stands level with the first film (also directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud), and may have the edge on it.

fresh:
How do you tell a story about a bad guy who is no longer a bad guy? Despicable Me 2 embraces the dilemma and adds new ones.

fresh:
Co-directors Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin, who do Minion voices expertly, never let up on the laughs. A fart joke in 3-D may not be three times as wacky, but the high spirits of Despicable Me 2 are irresistible fun.
– Peter Travers,

fresh:
This is one of those rarities, an animated sequel that improves on the original.
