'Minions' Lets Its Lovable Heroes Loose

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2015)

Let's get this out of the way first: Minions is silly, nonsensical and completely designed as a marketing device to sell toys or other assorted merchandise bearing the goggled eyes of its childish leads. The story is mostly just an excuse to let the franchise's most popular asset run amok, and those searching for greater meaning are already on a fool's errand. Of course, there's still undeniable fun to be had by joining these little guys on a whirlwind adventure that spans the globe, and despite the fact that many of the plot developments are slapdash in their execution, the Minions encounter a number of laugh-out-loud moments that will have kids giggling uncontrollably even when their parents elicit only a chuckle or two.
