Critics Consensus
The Minions' brightly colored brand of gibberish-fueled insanity stretches to feature length in their self-titled Despicable Me spinoff, with uneven but often hilarious results.
Ben Sachs Chicago Reader I got tired of this joke before the movie ended, but I appreciate the gusto with which the filmmakers -- particularly Coffin, with his nimble vocalizations -- carried it out. Rated: 2/4 Jul 16, 2015 Full Review Michael Sragow Film Comment Magazine In its own helter-skelter way, Minions achieves a loony symmetry. It starts with evolution and ends with revolution. Jul 14, 2015 Full Review Liam Lacey Globe and Mail With its episodic stream of slapstick gags, Minions has moments of piquant absurdity, but mostly its shrill-but-cutesy anarchy works as a visual sugar rush for the preschool set. Rated: 2/4 Jul 13, 2015 Full Review Zoë Rose Bryant Loud and Clear Reviews Minions may not have the purposeful plotting of a Pixar film or the wondrous world-building of a work from Walt Disney Animation, but its hyperactive sense of humor and absurdist antics are admittedly amusing nevertheless. Rated: 3/5 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies The youngster target audience will probably love every minute of “Minions”. I was with them to a point, but once the story abandoned the quest to find a master it bogged down and the humor grew inconsistent. Rated: 3/5 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Cory Woodroof 615 Film Life is short. Minions was fun. What am I supposed to do? Jul 17, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/09/22 Full Review fan Funny creative and year 1968 portrayed well Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/22 Full Review Sharon Nice family movie to enjoy with children. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/22 Full Review Allie F Parts of this movie seemed to drag on, and at times the storyline was a bit boring... however, there were still many laughable moments. Entertainment for entertainment's sake, right? Just try not to put too much thought into things and it's enjoyable :) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/22 Full Review Zion C F##### awful nothing good.

Synopsis Evolving from single-celled yellow organisms at the dawn of time, Minions live to serve, but find themselves working for a continual series of unsuccessful masters, from T. Rex to Napoleon. Without a master to grovel for, the Minions fall into a deep depression. But one minion, Kevin, has a plan; accompanied by his pals Stuart and Bob, Kevin sets forth to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. Their search leads them to Scarlet Overkill, the world's first-ever super-villainess.
