Minions are best part of softened 'Despicable Me 2' In the original “Despicable Me,” criminal mastermind Gru wants to steal the moon. In “Despicable Me 2,” he wants to get a date. Not quite the same thing. At all. Make no mistake. The sequel to 2010’s animated blockbuster is fun. It’s cheerful. It’s lollipop colorful. Best of all, it features lots of minion mischief. But what it doesn’t have is an edge.
