Emma, Ethan and I were delighted to see the “evil” Gru’s soft side in this movie. He has totally taken on the Daddy role and to see him dress up as a fairy for Ange’s birthday party, it was above and beyond cute and the kids were giggling as he pranced around the party. Unfortunately he is captured and forced back into villain thinking to help capture the newest criminal mastermind and hopefully save the world. Along the way, another soft side of Gru is shown as he starts to fall for the adorable Lucy Wilde, a secret agent that is helping him determine exactly who the evil mastermind is.

Let’s not forget the unbelievably funny, cute, adorable and silly minions! Who wouldn’t want their own, right?
