DESPICABLE ME 2 [2013]

Pierre Coffin & Chris Renaud return to direct the sequel to their 2010 animated hit Depsicable Me.
While this time it does lose a lot of it's humour in the conflict of the whole super villain story, it does manage to dazzle with it's inventive visuals and more than enough laughs for child and adult alike.  Steve Carell is hilarious as always and Kristen Wiig surprises with a wonderfully enthusiastic and inspired voice performance.
It's harmless, hilarious fun that doesn't offer a whole lot more.  However by the end of the film I can help but feel like I've received a Minions overdose, so it comes as no surprise as their's a Minions Movie coming in 2015.
