Being More Complete in Despicable Me 2

Despicable Me 2 was raved about because this sequel was done with the intention to please every type of audience. It was thrilling, romantic, humorous and yet childish. Thrilling because Gru tried to go undercover to find out who the villian was; Romantic because Gru eventually fell in love with his working accomplice, Lucy Wilde; Humorous because the minions made countless attempts to outsmart the audience with their less-than-perfect acts. Childish because his 3 daughters played a more significant role this time.
Yet this movie aims to be educational - with the good fighting the bad, the father caring for his daughters, the importance of Mum's love, etc. Was it trying too hard to please? I thought so, but it managed to win my heart over.
