Here's what the critics are saying:
Okay, what if you’re just bringing your kids for some big-screen entertainment with life-saving air conditioning? Well, if that’s all you want from Despicable Me 2, then you’ll mostly get your money’s worth. — Scott Mendelson, Forbes
The animators and writers behind “Despicable Me 2” might have done well to call their movie something else — “Gru Out of Darkness,” maybe? — given the near total lack of despicability the reformed baddie displays here. — Tom Russo, The Boston Globe
While it isn't as touching or as exuberantly funny as the original, it's a cute summer diversion for kids with just enough wink-wink slyness and cheeky cinematic asides to hold the interests of older teens and adults. — Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News
That this lively and sweet animated sequel lacks the subversive edge of the original is likely to go unnoticed by every viewer who just wants, well, more minions. — Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
