More Minions and More Mayhem Keep Laughs Loud in 'Despicable Me 2'

The minions are back for even more slapstick humor and mayhem in Despicable Me 2. 

What's wrong with being the bad guy fueled by sinister plots of global domination? After all, the perks that go along with being a stereotypical baddie are plenty of worthwhile incentives. Who wouldn't want top-notch gadgets, a decked out secret lair and most importantly an army of minions?

However since Illumination Entertainment's 2010 breakout animated film, Despicable Me, ex-supervillain Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) has reformed into a family man, raising three girls (Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier and Elsie Fisher) until Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig), a high-strung spy abducts him on behalf of the Anti-Villain League to track down El Macho, a villainous face of the past thought to be long gone.

'The Way, Way Back' Refreshes Summer Scene with Charming Coming-of-Age Tale

Teenage wallflower Duncan (Liam James) finds a positive outlet working at a local water park.

There is hardly a kid out there who doesn't look forward to those glorious three months known as summer vacation. After nine grueling months of hitting the books day in and day out, who wouldn't want to spend an entire summer on the beach oblivious of responsibility and expectations.

For Duncan (Liam James), a summer in a remote beach town isn't some cakewalk, particularly when you're an introverted pubescent wallflower raised by a bunch of oddballs who nobody quite gets. On top of that, Duncan can never shake off the reality that his mother's overbearing boyfriend Trent (Steve Carell) ridicules him from the start, flushing what little confidence he had right down the toilet. But when a water park manager (Sam Rockwell) takes Duncan under his wing, the summer looks a bit brighter in The Way, Way Back.
