Summary - Pretty Bad 1.5
Minions aren’t just evil, they’re bad, or at least their movie is bad. It’s a children’s movie and I’m an adult, sure. But other kiddie pix work for parents as well as kids, and not just those from Pixar.
Part of the problem is that the villain is more ridiculous than scary and isn’t funny at all, a fatal flaw in an action comedy. Mostly however, it’s only got perhaps three or four jokes that work, not nearly enough.
Acting - Barely OK 2.0
Sandra Bullock isn’t given a lot to work with as über-villain Scarlet Overkill, nor does she improve her lot.
Jon Hamm & Michael Keaton are also undistinguished. Allison Janney does better, not that it matters much.
Male Stars - Barely OK 2.0
Female Stars - Barely OK 2.0
Female Costars - Barely OK 2.0
Male Costars - Barely OK 2.0
Film - Pretty Bad 1.5
The film starts off pretty well, originating in pre-history and zooming to the 20th century with Minions being like little yellow Zeligs. But then it fizzles when the main plot starts.
