not a classic, but has more then few decent laughing moments

Rating: 5/10 (14 July 2015)

So, watched the "Minions" today, and was surprised that this film has so much love and so many great reviews. I mean don't get me wrong, i think a child will love the film and the little rascals that the minions are. But....
The film starts off with narration and origin story of the minions and what is their purpose in life. That quickly grows a little to tiring, it was a good concept when it was part of the opening credits, but feels like it dragged on a little bit. Then we are introduced to our 3 main heroes, Bob, Kevin and Stuart. The three stooges of the minion world. Now, there is no point in going into details about it as the film is mainly for kids, so Kevin, Bob and Stuart go on an adventure to find the tribes their new boss. Which takes them to England.
Now i know that little kids probably found the whole film very enjoyable, seeing the little yellow minions talk in their language and run around, for me as an adult, i found that only a handful of scenes had me truly laughing like i was a child.
For that i give the film a modest 5/10 stars. Although not the funniest film of the year, it certainly had some of the funniest scenes of the year.
