There is something of an actual plot, the world’s self-proclaimed first female supervillain, Scarlet Overkill ( Sandra Bullock), tasking the three Minions to steal England’s Crown Jewels for her so she can become the new Queen. It’s a waste of time, and how anyone over the age of eight or so is going to think otherwise I simply do not know.
While that can be fun, while there is amusement to be found in watching this happen, there’s not enough of it to warrant an entire feature devoted to it and to these characters alone.

Featuring a dull, not particularly evolved screenplay that’s barely serviceable, offering up human characters too one-dimensional and shockingly unlikable to even moderately care about, what is left are a series of comedic sketches featuring Kevin, Bob and Stuart engaging in all types of silliness. It moves quickly, Coffin and fellow director Kyle Balda ( The Lorax) refusing to let the pace slacken, while the computer animation bringing everything to life is impressive in ways neither of the previous two films featuring these pint-sized characters could boast.Įven so, I’m hard-pressed to believe adults are going to be all that eager to stay with their kids for all 91 minutes of this one.
Set in 1968, mostly taking place in a swinging, very groovy London (with brief forays to New York and Orlando), featuring an eclectic soundtrack of some of the era’s greatest hits, the movie offers up a number of visual delights and whimsical eccentricities sure to keep the younger members of the audience elated.
In essence, Minions isn’t so much a Despicable Me spin-off as it is a prequel to the events that took place in that surprise 2010 animated hit.
