Minions
2015
****
Director: Pierre Coffin, Kyle Balda
Cast: Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Steve Coogan, Jennifer Saunders, Pierre Coffin

The Minions, the adorable comedy sidekicks from the likeable Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2 animations, get their own movie. The hilarious opening scene shows how the yellow little creatures have unsuccessfully searched for a villain to serve since the beginning of time. The rest of the movie cannot quite maintain the same laughs per minute ratio, but it is admirably entertaining throughout. In the main story, the present day Kevin, Stuart and Bob go in search of another master and become embroiled in a plot to steal the crown of Queen Elizabeth.
