While Gru (voice by Steve Carell), the ex-supervillain is adjusting to family life and an attempted honest living in the jam business, a secret Arctic laboratory is stolen. The Anti-Villain League decides it needs an insider's help and recruits Gru in the investigation. Together with the eccentric AVL agent, Lucy Wilde (voice by Kristen Wiig), Gru concludes that his prime suspect is the presumed dead supervillain, El Macho (voice by Benjamin Bratt), whose his teenage son is also making the moves on his eldest daughter, Margo (voice by Miranda Cosgrove1). Seemingly blinded by his overprotectiveness of his children and his growing mutual attraction to Lucy, Gru seems on the wrong track even as his minions are being quietly kidnapped en masse for some malevolent purpose. Directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud.
