Take another wild ride with the Wolfpack. The zany plot involves freeing Alan (Galifianakis) from a mental institution and facing the big bad Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong), who's back with a bigger role and disguised as a police officer.

Michelle Rodriguez comes back from the "dead" for her role as Letty. This time around she's playing for the other team and has joined the enemy: an international mercenary organization.

The favour would clear Dom and his group's criminal records and allow them to return to their home country.

Find out how they ultimately become best friends in this sequel that's sure to be more silly than scary.

DESCIPABLE ME 2

It's time for another round of charming adventure with Agnes, Margo, Edith and their adoptive father, former supercriminal, Gru.
