Those Despicable Me Minions get their own movie.

Rating: 7/10 (17 July 2015)

Probably the real stars of the two DESPICABLE ME blockbusters, get their own movie in this prequel. Those likable tiny single-cell bright yellow Minions, wearing goggles and speaking gibberish get the chance to carry lead this time for Universal Pictures. But are these little fellows too cute to demand an audience? They prove to do a damn good job of it! From the beginning of time, this tribe seems to accidentally destroy their villainous bosses. Finally, in their search for the very ultimate villain of villains, minions Kevin, Stuart and Bob, hapless and harmless, begin a trek to find a new boss. With luck, the trio hitch a ride to Orlando, the site of Villain-Con. There they find a new potential master...the world's first female super-villain, Scarlett Overkill(Sandra Bullock). The scheming Scarlett and her inventor husband, Herb(Jon Hamm), enlist the innocent, bumbling trio in the dastardly and selfish mission of stealing the crown of Queen Elizabeth(Jennifer Saunders). But will this type of servitude be enough to sustain a whole googly-eyed community of Minions? Where is Gru(Steve Carrell)? OK, does the funny and cuteness wear out too soon? Did you bruise a rib and laugh your butt off? Geoffrey Rush narrates and others lending voices are: Michael Keaton, Katy Mixon, John Kassir, Laraine Newman, Tara Strong, Allison Janney, Hiroyuki Sanada, Carlos Alazraqui and co-director Pierre Coffin.
