MOVIE REVIEW

It hasn't been easy, but Gru is adjusting to his new life.

I mean, just figuring out a while back that he wasn't really rotten to the core was a difficult first step, one that hit him like a photon death ray. After all, training to be the most megalomaniacal meanie ever takes a certain dedication. And then there's all that investment in diabolical contraptions and dastardly thingamajigs. It's not like he can just put that lot up on eBay and get his money back.

But, hey, when it's right … it's right. And Gru—the former supervillain who once swiped the moon and left the world screaming while he postured and mwoohahaed—has come to grips with the fact that he's really a softy down deep. He's an average, bald-headed mastermind who simply lovesbeing a dad to three completely adorable adopted daughters.

And he's getting the swing of things, too. He knows the ins and outs of helping with school projects and kissing everyone goodnight at bedtime. His army of gibberish-spouting, goggle-wearing, yellow minions have successfully rejiggered his manufacturing plant from creating fearsome inventions to producing jellies and jams (though having the Mad Scientist who invented the so-called "fart gun" as your taste tester isn't always a win-win).

There is another sticky situation at hand, though, one that has Gru grimacing grimly. And, no, it's not just Margo's interest in boys or that nosey woman who's incessantly trying to set him up on dates. This is serious, folks! It's a big little something called the Anti-Villain League.

This secretive group wants Gru to track down the evil perpetrator of a fiendish heist. In fact, the Anti-Villain League is seeking a furtive fugitive felon who filched an entire arctic research lab to get his mitts on a transmutation serum that can turn innocent creatures into indestructible monsters. It's the kind of plot Gru himself might have cooked up not long ago. And it's a plot the Anti-Villain League thinks Gru can foil.

But does Gru really want to go out and fight crime? Hmmm. He's not so sure.

There are a few potential advantages, of course. First off, the girls really like the idea of their dad being a secret agent. Then, he would get the chance to break out a few of those old gadgets of his. And there's that lanky agent Lucy Wilde he'd be teamed up with. She's a little obnoxious and overbearing, but when she starts throwing those karate chops and zapping people with her lipstick Taser, it just makes Gru go all weak in the knees. (Especially when she's aiming all those chops and zaps at him!)

Well … the kids have been telling him he ought to date more. Maybe this is the best way to go about it.
