Minions: The Rise of Gru | Rotten Tomatoes (original) (raw)
Critics Consensus
The Minions' antic shenanigans are beginning to grate despite this sequel's injection of retro chic, although this loony marathon of gags will still delight young children.
Audience Says
Minions: The Rise of Gru might not be the best of the series, but it's got all the colorful silliness that fans of the franchise will be looking for.
Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) The minions are brilliant animated slapstick... and there's something about it that just tickles my funny bone. Jan 3, 2024 Full Review Jenny Nulf Austin Chronicle Minions: The Rise of Gru might not be sophisticated storytelling, but not all animated films have to be. Sometimes they can just be about joy. Rated: 3/5 Sep 27, 2022 Full Review Udita Jhunjhunwala Scroll.in The animated comedy is an 88-minute delight, further enlivened by the talented voice cast... Aug 8, 2022 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab iNews.co.uk The yellow mischief-makers are better enjoyed in small doses. Rated: 2/5 Jan 16, 2025 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Minions: The Rise of Gru eventually (and inevitably) progresses into a exhausting, frenetic midsection and second half that slowly-but-surely alienates the viewer... Rated: 2/4 Oct 6, 2024 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome Minions: The Rise of Gru is solid. The runtime doesn’t overexert the potentially irritating nature of the Minions, and the new characters breathe life into the franchise. Feb 25, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis In the heart of the 1970s, amid a flurry of feathered hair and flared jeans, Gru (Oscar® nominee Steve Carell) is growing up in the suburbs. A fanboy of a supervillain supergroup known as the Vicious 6, Gru hatches a plan to become evil enough to join them. Luckily, he gets some mayhem-making backup from his loyal followers, the Minions. Together, Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto--a new Minion sporting braces and a desperate need to please--deploy their skills as they and Gru build their first lair, experiment with their first weapons and pull off their first missions. When the Vicious 6 oust their leader, legendary fighter Wild Knuckles (Oscar® winner Alan Arkin), Gru interviews to become their newest member. It doesn't go well (to say the least), and only gets worse after Gru outsmarts them and suddenly finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. On the run, Gru will turn to an unlikely source for guidance, Wild Knuckles himself, and discover that even bad guys need a little help from their friends.
