Plot
A secret laboratory, somewhere near the Arctic Circle, has just been
stolen by a mysterious vehicle using a giant magnet. The Anti-Villain
League (AVL) become suspicious about this case as the lab contains a
mutating chemical compound, PX-41, which could transform living things
into indestructible killing machines. The organization must find someone
to stop the mutating chemical from getting into the wrong hands.
To that end, Lucy Wilde, an AVL agent forcibly abducts Gru and
two of his minions to take them to the AVL's underwater headquarters,
where they ask Gru to assist them in their efforts to track down the
perpetrator and the missing mutagen. Gru refuses, preferring to
concentrate on his new venture of producing bottled jellies and the
responsibilities of being a father to his three adopted girls. Before he
leaves, Lucy admits she was impressed by his work as a villain and
gives her namecard to Gru, urging him to contact her if he changes his
mind. Upon return to his lab, Gru realises that his minion-run
production line was churning out bottles of awful-tasting jellies. Also,
his research scientist, Dr. Nefario confesses to Gru that he misses
being "evil" and has been offered employment elsewhere. After giving Dr.
Nefario a 21 fart-gun send-off with the minions, Gru contacts Lucy and
take the task of recovering the stolen mutagen.
Traces of chemical scent given off by the mutagen narrows the
search to the confines of The Paradise shopping mall. Gru works
undercover as the owner of a cupcake shop in that mall with Lucy being
assigned as his partner. He suspects one of the owners of a restaurant,
named Eduardo, in the mall to be an old super-villain called El Macho,
who supposedly died after body-strapping TNT and riding a shark into an
active volcano that resulted in his fiery demise. Lucy and Gru then
decide to break into his restaurant and narrowly escape from being
caught, but find nothing to attach Eduardo to the crime. While the team
is having more progress investigating wig merchant Floyd Eagle-san,
Margo begins to develop a crush on Eduardo's son, Antonio, to Gru's
frustration. The whole family is invited to Eduardo's Cinco de Mayo
party at his mansion where Gru's protectiveness of his daughter leads
him to make baseless wild accusations to the AVL about Eduardo as El
Macho and his son, which are scoffed at.
Later that day, a determined matchmaking neighbour, Jillian, sets
a reluctant Gru up on a date with her rude and superficial friend
Shannon. During the date, Shannon discovers Gru's wig and threatens to
humiliate him, but Lucy saves him by shooting her with a tranquilizing
dart. They take Shannon home, and Gru tells Agnes that he thinks he is
in love with Lucy. When he arrives at the mall the next day, the
Anti-Villain League arrest Floyd Eagle-san, who protests vehemently that
he was framed, after the AVL team uncovers the empty mutagen jar in his
shop. The Chief of AVL tells Gru that the case is now closed and that
Lucy will be getting posted to Australia for work. Gru, unable to muster
the courage to ask Lucy out despite deliberating for a long time,
incinerates his telephone out of frustration.
The family then goes to Eduardo's party. Gru follows Eduardo and
discovers that he was correct about Eduardo. Gru also discovers that Dr.
Nefario has been working for Eduardo and that the duo has been
capturing and mutating some of Gru's minions into the same purple-furred
monsters as the serum creates. Eduardo offers Gru a chance to conquer
the world, but Gru makes his excuses and hastily leaves with the girls.
Margo has also broken up with Antonio as he became interested in another
girl. For breaking her heart, Gru encases him in a block of ice with
his freeze-ray.
Lucy, while in the plane bound for Australia, realized that she
wants to be with Gru, and jumps out to hang-glide to the party. Eduardo
discovers who she is, after his chicken retrieves her AVL ID badge from
her purse, and captures her. Dr. Nefario calls Gru to tell him that Lucy
has been captured. Gru disguises two of his minions in purple paint
that escorts his "captured" self into the Eduardo's compound in a rescue
attempt. Gru manages to restore the minions who were under El Macho's
control using the antidote-infused awful-tasting jam which Dr. Nefario
made and defeats El Macho after he drinks the piosion that made the
minnions evil. After El Macho collapses to the ground, Gru tries to
untie Lucy who is strapped onto a TNT-equipped shark rocket. While
attempting to do so, Eduardo's pet chicken triggers the launch
remote,Gru says "I really hate that chicken.",and sends the pair flying
towards the lava-spewing volcano where El Macho faked his death. While
on the rocket, Lucy accepts Gru's date invitation before the pair dives
into the safety of the ocean, just seconds before the rocket explodes.
One hundred and forty-seven dates later, the two are married and the
girls finally have a mother. The minions close with a rendition of
"Y.M.C.A" and "I'll Swear"(mistakenly sung as "Underwear") while the
family dances.
During the credits, 3 Minions are seen "auditioning" for the upcoming Minions movie. However, a black wall showing the credits keeps falling and blocking their way.
