Great premise, no execution

Rating: 5/10 (6 September 2015)

It took 10 minutes for the narrator to explain the premise of the movie while nothing was happening. Then animation happened, something that was supposed to be funny because the main characters were bumbling mumbling cretin yellow balls with eyes that somehow managed everything by mistake. And then it was over.
Don't get me wrong, I am not against childish cartoons, I liked Despicable Me, even the second part, sort of, but this was beyond boring, utterly inane story telling, targeted for idiotic three year olds. And while I may appear to be ranting, that is an artifact of text reviews. I am very calm and objective when I am reporting that watching this is a waste of time for anyone that has lived more than 5 years.
Bottom line: Sandra Bullock, John Hamm, Michael Keaton, Geoffrey Rush and Hiroyuki Sanada were actors for this nothing of a movie. The minions should have been green, with a big $ on them.
