Steve Carrel is not my favorite comedian, but the minions in this movie really help him out. He comes out as the most lovable villain as he inevitably surrenders his heart to those adorable little orphans. And those minions are sooo funny. Overall, this movie is not all about Steve Carrel, thank Goodness, as most other of his movies are. But the whole movie is pretty darn funny. My teenagers and I loved it, and we've watched it over and over again, and we recommend it to friends whom we think need a good dose of laughter in their life. That's it.
What's great about it: The Minions.
What's not so great: Dr. Nefario needs a facelift.
