Ok, honestly, Minions: The Rise of Gru is actually pretty charming for a movie that often becomes a frenzied nightmare. aurora_amidon's review:
in a theater that gave out complimentary crayons and kid’s menus, I periodically found myself staring at the screen and thinking: “Is this really happening?” This occurred a couple times. Once, when a nun villain named Nunchucks levitates out of a room; once, during an alligator attack that comes out of; and, of course, for the entirety of the scene where the Minions hijack a commercial airplane.
The remainder of the film sees Gru flee from the Vicious 6, while his faithful little Minions do everything in their power to bring their “little boss” back; and yes, you can bet they run into quite a few obstacles along the way! There’s kung-fu, there’s San Francisco and there’s a man-lobster hybrid, in addition to just about anything else the creators want to stick in there, no matter how much they have to disfigure the story to make that happen.
