The 'Not-So-Critical' Critic: MINIONS



The 'Not-So-Critical' Critic:
on MINIONS (2015, 91 minutes, PG)

The Quick of It -
There is a reason MINIONS topped the box office and became the second most opening weekend grosser for an animated movie. There is, but I'm not sure why. Half the movie is in babble-speak. It's like watching a dubbed movie with some half-crazed mumbler speaking in tongues the whole time. Ah, who am I kidding... everyone wants to have a set of minions.

Three doofs make their way into and out of trouble more times than I care to count. As heroes, they are villain-assistants who are searching for a master. So, you see, we have lost our minds as Americans, again rooting for the bad guy... but in the most lovable way.

Grade: B+
