Minions: The Rise of Gru Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Jenny Nulf
Minions: The Rise of Gru might not be sophisticated storytelling, but not all animated films have to be. Sometimes they can just be about joy.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
That's all, folks -- amiable and colorful as it is, the movie is also spectacularly inconsequential.
Arizona Republic
Alexis Potter
Minions: The Rise of Gru is the perfect movie if you've been needing a moment to just laugh, no matter what age you are. Yes, it is an animated film that will appeal to kids for sure, but it's written with adults in mind, too.
TheWrap
Carlos Aguilar
There's a real crisis of imagination in studio animated features, and the minions are the prime example of an uninspired property that exists merely to churn out mindless content.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
This is funny -- the kids next to me were having an outrageously good time -- but it's very violent. It's rated PG [instead of G], and that is a very good idea.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
Minions: The Rise of Gru moves at breakneck speed ... the laughs are well-paced and the viewer isn't given too much time to reflect on how ridiculous Matthew Fogel's screenplay is.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"The Rise of Gru" skates by on the charm of the squishy yellow guys.
Chicago Reader
Kathleen Sachs
Is this in any way, shape, or form defensible as meaningful art? Certainly not. Is it really cute? Yup. Aggressively so? Sure, but in our current political hellscape, there are certainly worse things to be affronted by.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
[Kids] are going to love this sequel, and while that's not surprising, that their parents might find themselves giggling right along with their youngsters somewhat is.
The Playlist
Jason Bailey
"The Rise of Gru" isn't a complete waste; there's the occasional inspired sight gag, particularly the prop work in the martial arts training sequence, and Arkin seems to have a good time (it's surprising he hasn't done more voice work).
ABC News
Peter Travers
This Minions prequel would have to go some to make it as flimsy, but Steve Carell is pricelessly funny doing the voice of a pre-teen wannabe villain wrangling these goggle-wearing little buggers and you could do worse in a search for animated family fun
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Todd McCarthy
Minions goes down without too much discomfort, and its reasonable laugh quotient serves as a pointed reminder that comedy has been in very short supply on the big screen so far this year.
The Atlantic
Shirley Li
The Rise of Gru's story is instantly forgettable, but the film looks great, moves briskly, and boasts the vocal stylings of a cast that sounds like they're having the time of their life.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
While a tad too light, as these films often are, nobody is making animated characters as funny or likable (or marketable) as the Minions.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
Kids will love all the silliness, but oddly the greatest resonance of the Wayback Machine plot will be felt by the kids' grandparents (if any find themselves in attendance) who were around in those bygone days.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Minions: The Rise of Gru is hardly the best of the Despicable Me movies or spinoffs. But the ridiculousness quotient of The Rise of Gru is still high enough to spark at least mild rejuvenation.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
For all its efforts at wild humor, The Rise of Gru never quite builds up a comic head of steam. It's filled with laugh lines, but they feel like placeholders -- a lot of middling bits about the time period plus a tired assortment of anachronisms.
Boston Globe
Serena Puang
The movie is fun: The music is unironically good -- a particular standout is the Minions' rendition of Simon and Garfunkel's "Cecilia"; Bob, as cute as ever, learns that "even the smallest of us are capable of great things."
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
The minions are brilliant animated slapstick... and there's something about it that just tickles my funny bone.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Minions certainly has to be evaluated in the modest context of what it's trying to achieve, but even compared to the earlier movies in the franchise, this one feels particularly limited in its scope and ambitions.
