Reviewer notes

Recommended

Given the megalomaniacs the poor "Minions" have had to work with over the years, it's not really surprising they are a bit flaky! Now, though, they are also rudderless. They have no guiding light. They have to find someone so dastardly to be worthy of their loyalty - but whom?…

Recommended

Funny movie, but I thought it was kind of dumb. The minions did make me laugh a lot but the movie itself I just didn't like that much.

Recommended

I enjoyed it a lot with my nephews. It's a fun family movie to watch with young'uns and there are some adult flavored jokes here and there.

Recommended

a nice idea and the animation.the new thing in animation field.a movie that every one should like an kid or old man.

Not recommendedTrusted family reviewers

The minions are a nice idea and the animation and London recreation is really good, but that's about it. The script is boring and the jokes not really funny.
