Gru, his wife Lucy, adopted girls Margo, Edith, & Agnes, along with all of those lovable minions are back for more fun & misadventures. Gru & Lucy have welcomed a son Gru Jr. into the family. Maxime Le Mal is an old school rival that becomes Gru’s latest nemesis, Cockroach Man. Maxime’s girlfriend is Valentina. An altercation puts Maxime in prison, but his subsequent escape puts Gru & his family at risk. So AVL (Anti Villain League) puts Gru & family in a safe house & the witness protection program. Hilarity ensues with shades of “Captain America” meets “Mission Impossible” meets “The Karate Kid” with a hair salon disaster & some supermarket mayhem to tickle our funny bones. It’s rapid fire sight gags & hijinks for great family fun. Release your inner child as those adorable minions behave like uncontrolled spoiled brats exploding all over the big screen.
