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.

What to Know

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.

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. Go to Full Review

In its own helter-skelter way, Minions achieves a loony symmetry. It starts with evolution and ends with revolution. Go to Full Review

2/4
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. Go to Full Review

I see a movie so annoying that I would punch my own child in the face for wanting to watch it over and over. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

See more Allie F 02/04/2022 Parts of this movie seemed to drag on, and at times the storyline was a bit boring... however, there were still many laughable moments.
