In a mildly clever origin story monologue spanning the opening credits, we witness the minion tribe's beginning at the cellular level and their evolving involvement in loving and following evildoers through history. For them to have their own overblown film is completely too much. There are some sidekicks who can outshine their bosses, but not these guys. Slapstick is a lost art and some of what they do is funny in that department. I can see why these little anthropomorphic yellow dudes are funny in small doses. This film is terrible and we can do better with family entertainment.ĭon't get me wrong. I see a movie so annoying that I would punch my own child in the face for wanting to watch it over and over. I hear and see repeated cliches around every corner that are only played for laughs because of mild physical comedy. I see a bloated adventure film that steals good ideas from better films because its own originality is tremendously limited. I watch "Minions" and I don't see anything fresh or fun. I didn't think much of the first "Despicable Me" five years ago and didn't bother to see "Despicable Me 2." However, millions of people and families are going to watch "Minions" this weekend and the film is going to make a boatload of cash.
