Ich - Einfach unverbesserlich 2

Nachdem der Superschurke Gru die drei Waisenkinder Margo, Edith und Agnes adoptiert hat, hat sich in seinem Leben viel geändert. Anstatt als Griesgram Verbrechen zu begehen, dreht sich sein Leben nun um Gute-Nacht-Geschichten, Kindergeburtstage und erste Verehrer der Mädchen. Sein neues Leben wird plötzlich gestört, als Lucy, eine Agentin der geheimen Anti-Villain League, Gru gegen seinen Willen zu deren Zentrale führt. Dort bekommt Gru den Auftrag, die Welt vor einem neuen Bösewicht zu retten. Eifrig macht sich Gru ans Werk und bekommt dabei erneut Hilfe von Dr. Nefario und seinen meist sehr tollpatschigen Minions. Doch seine neue Aufgabe mit der Erziehung seiner Adoptivtöchter in Einklang zu bringen ist nicht leicht und auch mit der Situation, dass Lucy auch außerhalb der Arbeit sehr von Gru angetan ist, überfordert den ehemaligen Einzelgänger.

Moi, moche et méchant 2

Ayant abandonné la super‐criminalité et mis de côté ses activités funestes pour se consacrer à la paternité et élever Margo, Édith et Agnès, Gru, et avec lui, le Professeur Néfario et les Minions, doivent se trouver de nouvelles occupations. Alors qu’il commence à peine à s’adapter à sa nouvelle vie tranquille de père de famille, une organisation ultrasecrète, menant une lutte acharnée contre le Mal à l’échelle planétaire, vient frapper à sa porte. Soudain, c’est à Gru, et à sa nouvelle coéquipière Lucy, que revient la responsabilité de résoudre une série de méfaits spectaculaires. Après tout, qui mieux que l’ex plus méchant de tous les temps, pourrait attraper celui qui rivalise pour lui voler la place qu’il occupait encore récemment…

Cattivissimo me 2

Per l'ex super cattivo Gru la vita è cambiata radicalmente. Ora nel suo orizzonte ci sono solo le tre dolci bambine che ha adottato e la conversione del laboratorio segreto dei Minion e del dottor Nefario in un'impresa legale di produzione di marmellate e gelatine. Per Nefario, però, la rinuncia alla cattiveria è un sacrificio troppo grande e, cuore e valigia in mano, se ne va al soldo di un altro padrone. Gru, invece, viene reclutato dalla vulcanica agente Lucy Wilde, della Lega Anti Cattivi, per fingersi il gestore di un negozio di dolciumi in un centro commerciale e smascherare così il criminale che sta per assoggettare il mondo ai suoi terribili scopi.
