By Invite Only: Want to See Despicable Me 2?

By

Greetings Minions!

Another sequel? How Despicable!

In just a few short days, the world will be treated to the much-anticipated release of Despicable Me 2. The all-new animated comedy features the return of Gru (Steve Carell), his adopted girls, the unpredictably hilarious minions… and a host of new and outrageously funny characters. In this sequel, the Anti-Villain League consults Gru for help when they find themselves dealing with new super criminal Eduardo (Benjamin Bratt).

The sure-to-be family favourite opens nationwide on July 3rd, and with the kiddos out of school, and summer vacay in full swing, it’s the perfect time to enjoy a movie together. And… if you live in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), boy, do I have an incredible opportunity for you!

Thanks to my good friends at The Home Depot Canada, join me for a private screening of Despicable Me 2!

Interested? Awesome! Here’s what you need to know – 

Four (4) lucky readers will win a prize pack consisting of four (4) tickets to a private screening of Despicable Me 2 on Saturday, July 6th. (There must be at least one adult present in your party.) You’ll be treated to concession stand goodies and we’ll even present you with an awesome gift: a DVD copy of Despicable Me, plus a Home Depot Canada kid’s apron, hard hat and set of pencils… featuring the adorable Despicable Me 2 minions!

If you live in the GTA and are available to attend our private screening on July 6th at 2:00pm (Cineplex Odeon Queensway Cinemas), kindly leave a comment on this post indicating your interest. Due to the awesome nature of this opportunity, please only leave your name if you’re certain you can attend, if selected. We wouldn’t want the tickets to go unclaimed!
