Review of Minions (2015) by Boogeefilmguy — 12 Jul 2015

I thought the first two Despicable Me films were very enjoyable, but the highlight of both movies were the Minions. I thought they were hilarious. However, I thought they worked well as side characters, I didn't think they would be able to hold their own film.

I still hold that opinion. Although the first two films were for families to enjoy, this one is for children. Your kids will laugh their faces off at this, but I don't think its as enjoyable for the parents.

Sandra Bullock wasn't the greatest as the main antagonist, however Jon Hamm was a highlight in the film. I found him very entertaining in the role that he played, and he was the funniest thing in this movie.

The main (Minion) characters, Stuart, Kevin and Bob were very entertaining, but most of it was slapstick humour you'll find funny the first time you watch it, probably not the next million times your kids chuck the DVD on (Kind of like the first Cars).

I'll give the film credit, as its just a bit of harmless fun for the kids, but its not a great film in general.
