Look, if your kid is obsessed with Minions, this will keep them entertained for 90 minutes. But let's be honest: the critics and audiences both gave this a collective 'meh' for a reason.

The Minions work best as comic relief in the Despicable Me movies—giving them their own feature is like making a whole meal out of dessert sprinkles. It's visually bright, the slapstick is harmless, and young kids won't be traumatized. But there's no story here, no heart, no growth, no takeaway except 'banana' jokes and pratfalls.

The bigger issue is the moral vacuum: these characters exist to serve villains, and while it's played for laughs, there's literally nothing balancing that out. No lesson learned, no redemption, just chaos in service of evil (albeit goofy evil).

It's safe, it's colorful, and if you need 90 minutes of babysitting, it'll do the job. But don't expect your kids to remember it fondly or ask deep questions afterward. This is peak empty-calorie entertainment—and even by that standard, it's gotten stale fast.
