Lowest Common Denominator, there's a film here for all of you!

Rating: 1/10 (12 August 2015)

I wasn't really a big fan of the first two films in this franchise to begin with, but this one? It's bad enough seeing the merchandise for it everywhere and now there's an entire film for those stupid yellow monsters. It was obvious that it was made to appeal more to trailer-trash adults than it was for kids. The plot was predictable, the jokes were stupid, crass and annoying, and the animation was just another load of cheap CGI garbage. I had to go see it with my family and the theater was full of children. The adults were laughing like morons, some were gushing on about how cute the minions were (god help us all), but not a single child in the theater even cracked a smile. A few children said "ew", some bored teens sat in the back texting, some people got up and left about halfway through the film, and many children left to go to the bathroom and didn't come back until the film was over.
This film was a pathetic waste of time, effort and money, hands-down. I'm sure that sheep everywhere will hate this review, but for anyone else who gives it a one-star rating, I thank you, you're doing the world a huge favor.
