Steve Carell - Gru
Kristen Wiig - Lucy
Will Ferrell - Maxime Le Mal
Joey King - Poppy Prescott
Sofia Vergara - Valentina

Pierre Coffin - Minions
Summary
After Ramsbottom tells Gru that his arch nemesis Maxime Le Mal (who has enhanced his body with cockroach parts), has escaped from prison, family is forced to relocate to the quiet town of Mayflower until Maxime is recaptured.
With femme fatale girlfriend Valentina by his side, Maxime plots to kidnap Gru Jr. and transform bambino into a human-roach hybrid.
Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Maybe I'm being harsh, but useless characters and rubbish villain was frustrating.
When Minions become Mega via serum, superheroes causing collateral damage in a city was admittedly pretty funny.
The only other thing of note is a woman chasing Lucy through a supermarket like Terminator 2's the T-1000.
I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Gru and co, but slapstick needs to seriously up its game.
