A little too much Minion, but still entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2015)

26 June 2015 Film of Choice at The Plaza Dorchester Tonight - Minions. I'm a big fan of Despicable Me and who cannot fail to love the hapless yellow Minions who only live to serve their evil master. This film was much anticipated and although I enjoyed it, my fear of Minion overkill did come true.....just a little bit. With their made up language, these endearing little chaps are entertaining in small doses but just a little too much in their own film. The story was solid......after serving many evil characters through history and unwittingly helping to hasten their demise, the Minions had established a colony but were losing their zest for life, so with the help Stuart and Bob, Kevin sets off to find a new master to unite the Minions once more. Their adventures lead them to Scarlett Overkill (voiced by Sandra Bullock) and ultimately to England where things go so wrong they end up right. I went to The Plaza at 6pm so shared the viewing with a very large number of children, who laughed raucously throughout. If you like Minions, you'll like this film. Interesting twist!!!!!
