I remember seeing Despicable Me and thinking to myself about the small yellow
creatures in the movie, the Minions. I wondered what were they and where did
they come from? Now, the Minions have
their own movie, Minions to answer my
questions.
In the movie, we learned the Minions
have existed since the beginning of time evolving from a single cell organism
into beings who exists to serve the world and history's most villainous
masters. Minions speak their own language which is a combination that sounds
like different parts of Italian, Korean and other foreign languages.
We see the Minions as they work for
villain masters from a T Rex, a caveman, an Egyptian Pharaoh, Dracula and even
Napoleon with some real funny results.
Later, the Minions decide to distance
themselves from the villainous masters and start a new life in Antarctica.
Well, the lack of villain masters drives
the Minions into depression. I felt seeing the Minions depressed was a hard
thing to watch. Usually, they are full of life.
Minion Kevin plans to find a new master
by leaving the Antarctic. Yet, no one wants to leave except Stewart, a guitar
obsessed Minion. He joins Kevin along with overenthusiastic Bob, who Kevin only
chose because no one else was wanted to to go on the trip.
There are funny scenes as the trio
travels across Antarctic and the sea. Finally, they arrive in New York City
where they learn about Villain-Con, a upcoming convention where villain meet up to be held in Orlando
Florida.
The trio hitchhike with a crazy crime
obsessed family to Villain-Con. The trip with the family is really funny. At Villain-Con, Kevin, Stuart and Bob meets
Scarlett Overkill, the world's first female super villain voiced by Sandra
Bullock. Their adventure with her was funny as she tries to figure out what to
do with them.
Minions
is a fun movie as we see
the Minions giggle their way in and out of trouble. If you are a fan of the Despicable Me movies like I am. Minions
Stewart, Kevin and Bob are so lovable with their separate personalities that it
turns the movie into cinematic gold.
If you didn't see Minions in the theater. You now have no excuse because the movie is
on DVD/Blu-ray. I guarantee you will develop a Minions giggle as you laugh with
them during the movie.
Minions is a great way to enjoy the holiday as
the kid we all want to be during the season.
