Despicable Me 2 Synopsis
Gru, formerly a super-villain, is now no longer a villain after having previously saved his three adopted daughters Margo, Edith, and Agnes from rival super-villain Vector. Gru is having a birthday party for Agnes, the youngest child, in which he impersonates a Fairy Princess to save her from disappointment when the performer cannot attend. Much to Gru's chagrin, his neighbor, Jillian, begins pushing Gru to take some of her single acquaintances on a date. While he is outside, he and two of his minions are approached and kidnapped by Lucy Wilde, an Anti-Villain League agent, and taken to the underwater Anti-Villain League Headquarters, where they ask for Gru to become a "spy" in order to track down a new super-villain who has stolen a research laboratory and a chemical compound that can transform lifeforms into invincible mutant killing machines. Gru refuses, saying that he has other responsibilities now. Before he leaves, Lucy admits she was impressed by his work as a villain, stating that stealing the Moon was "amazing", before giving him her phone number and urging him to contact her if his mind changes.

Upon his return, Dr. Nefario confesses to Gru that he misses being "evil" and has been offered employment elsewhere, then leaves Gru and his minions. This prompts Gru to contact Lucy and take the job. He works undercover in a mall as a runner of a cupcake shop, as the chemical has been tracked to the mall. Lucy has also been assigned as Gru's partner. He suspects one of the owners of a restaurant, named Eduardo, in the mall to be an old super-villain he knew several years previously, called El Macho, who supposedly died after an accident involving an active volcano. Lucy and Gru then decide to break into his restaurant and narrowly escape being caught, but find nothing to attach Eduardo to the crime. Meanwhile, Margo begins to develop a crush on Eduardo's son, Antonio, to Gru's frustration. The whole family is invited to Eduardo's Cinco de Mayo party at his mansion.

Later that day, Jillian sets a reluctant Gru up on a date with her annoying and superficial friend Shannon. During the date, Shannon discovers Gru's wig and threatens to humiliate him, but Lucy saves him by shooting her with a tranquilizing dart. They take Shannon home, and Gru tells Agnes that he thinks he is in love with Lucy. When he arrives at the mall the next day, he sees the Anti-Villain League arrest the owner of a different store and tell Gru that the case is now closed and that Lucy will be getting posted in Australia for different work. Gru is not able to muster the courage to tell Lucy how he feels.

The family then goes to Eduardo's party. Gru follows Eduardo and discovers that he was correct in assuming he is the man behind El Macho. Gru also discovers that Dr. Nefario has also been working for Eduardo and that the duo have been capturing and mutating some of Gru's minions. Eduardo offers Gru a chance to work together and rule the world, but Gru makes his excuses and leaves with the girls. Margo has also broken up with Antonio as he became interested in another girl. Lucy, having realized that she wants to be with Gru, arrives at the party, but Eduardo discovers who she is and captures her. Dr. Nefario calls Gru to tell him what has happened, and Gru takes two of his minions to get Lucy back. Gru manages to restore the minions who were under El Macho's control using a jam which Dr. Nefario made. El Macho and Gru face each other and El Macho is defeated. Lucy is seen tied to a rocket that is about to fly into the volcano where El Macho faked his death. Gru arrives on time to rescue her. One hundred and forty-seven dates later, the two are married and the girls finally have a mother. The minions close with a rendition of Y.M.C.A while the family dances.

During the credits, 3 Minions are seen "auditioning" for the upcoming Minion movie. However, a black wall showing the credits keeps falling and blocking their way.

Despicable Me 2 Movie Review
This is the movie which contains a lot of humor. And the story line is the continuous from <Despicable Me>. Gru try to be a good father and organize a big party for Agnes, and when Agnes asked where are the princess, he pretend the big fat princess and show in front of the kids. After that when Lucy asked Gru for help to find out the evil person who used mutagen PX-41 (which can produce indestructible and extremely aggressive monsters). That event is happened after Dr. Nefario leave Gru's lab.

In the middle of the story, Gru and Lucy are worked quite well and they keep find the information in The Paradise Shopping Mall. And both of them are falling in love with each other. It's really touching when Gru want to save her from El Macho's rocket at last and they married.

I feel excited when they are in El Macho's place (in both restaurant and palace). Because they are try to find the mutagen PX-41 in the restaurant but failed and finally Gru found that in El Macho's lair. And all of his minions are the victim for the chemical.

As a conclusion, the movie is funny and a lot of humor. Although the movie is short but a lot of people love this movie because of the minions' cuteness. We should be intelligent when we want to break the case.
