Unrelentingly awful.

Rating: 1/10 (29 June 2015)

I also have a high tolerance for bad but fun films. And kids' films. And films where one has to suspend reality and just jump in the deep end of silliness. But this is just 90 minutes of unrelenting awful. This film had such potential - the Despicable Me movies were fun romps, with character and emotion. This fails on all counts. There is no bonding with the characters, no real plot and so many inconsistencies and holes as to be cringeworthy. There's one decent fart joke 5 minutes in and then it's just plot less, racial stereotyping, unfunny, repetitive dross. I really wanted to like it, but if I hadn't had the kids with me I'd have walked out part-way through.
