REVIEW
Andrew:
Hello dear readers! Our sincerest apologies for our absence on the blog lately,
we’ve been pretty busy the last week or so with me traveling back to Michigan
last weekend for a wedding and then hosting Sarah’s younger sister all week out
here for an East Coast visit. Haven’t had a whole lot of down time when you
combine those things with work, but things have slowed down juuuuust enough
that we can finally post reviews we’ve been meaning to get to!
First up, Sarah and I were able to catch a morning showing
of last weekend’s hit animated film Despicable Me 2, the sequel to
2010’s Despicable Me, which is one of our favorite animated films of
all-time.
Steve Carell returns as Gru the supervillain-turned-adoptive
father to his three daughters Margo, Edith and Agnes.
Sarah:
This time around instead of being a bad guy he’s recruited by the Anti-Villain
League to help them bring down a new super-villain they can’t quite seem to
catch. We were really excited to see this one because we absolutely love the first
one, and this one didn’t disappoint! What are your thoughts on Despicable
Me 2?
