The dungarees- and goggles-wearing yellow sidekicks from the two Despicable Me films are upgraded to leading minion status in the appropriately titled Minions, from directors Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda. After switching 'round the formula used in the previous films, in which the Steve Carrell-voiced villain was cast as the improbable lead, this Swinging London-set prequel goes back to a more classically structured setup, in which the bad guy ? or rather, bad girl, voiced by a workmanlike Sandra Bullock ? is the antagonist, while the mostly mumbling heroes take center stage.
Unfortunately, this robs the film of much of what made its predecessors stand out, with the story lacking a clear narrative or emotional throughline to connect all of the film?s setpieces.??
