    • Trivia
      When Lucy and Gru are reviewing Paradise Mall shop owners (suspects), the owner of Stuff-A-Bear (a satire of Build-A-Bear) overstuffs a bear and it explodes, making an expectant little boy cry. The boy is the same one that Gru made cry with a popping balloon in the beginning of the first Despicable Me (2010).
    • Goofs
      When Lucy is tazing Gru he drops his freeze ray but when it shows her trying to pick him up it is gone.
    • Quotes

      Gru: I'm a father now, with responsibilities, and a legitimate businessman. I'm developing a delicious line of jams and jellies.

      Silas: [chuckles] Jams and jellies?

      Gru: Oh, attitude. That's right! So thanks, but no thanks. And here's a tip: instead of tasing people and kidnapping them, maybe you should give them a call! Good day, Mr. Sheepsbutt.

      Silas: Ramsbottom.

      Gru: [chuckles sarcastically] Oh yeah, like that's any better.

    • Crazy credits
      Throughout the first half of the end credits, three minions - Kevin, Stuart, and Bob - hold auditions for Minions (2015).
    • Alternate versions
      When first aired on NBC in 2016, the Illumination Entertainment logo from The Secret Life of Pets (2016) was used in the place of this film's variant.

    Every You Would Want In A Family Film,
    Despicable Me 2 is a brilliant film with a great storyline and an impressive voice cast.I definitely wouldn't say it was better than the first Despicable Me,the first one was a lot more heartwarming,but it still is a very good sequel and has everything you want in a family film,humor for both young and older audiences.However,the story of the movie feels very scattered and throughout I felt like they were trying to fit too much in one hour and a half.Like the first Despicable Me,the Minions are the best part,and they get even more screen time in this one that they did previously,it's almost impossible not to laugh at these goofy and lovable characters.It's not as good as the first Despicable Me,but this sequel is very funny and an enjoyable movie for the whole family and I look forward to seeing what Illumination Entertainment does with these characters in the future.

    Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) joins the Anti-Villain League in order to find an anonymous villain working on an experiment to turn the world evil.
