There is an intrinsic problem with this film about creatures who exist just to serve. When it actually gets going, Minions finds it hard to hold down a thought, let alone a relationship.

While Minions are insanely cute and do offer you short spells of laughter, this is nothing to go bananas over.

it provides a valuable lesson without preaching and communicates much of its ideas and themes visually, and does so without losing its lightness of spirit, and even allows for a Minion speaking in gibberish to be highly resonant and emotive in many key scenes.

Too long to keep its audience glued, Minions could have been a much better watch were it Minion sized.

Minions is a fun 90 minute watch filled with silly humor. Definitely a weekend watch for kids!
