MINIONS, PG ( 1 hr & 31 min )


-

I went to see this on Saturday, July 11th, 2015, here in Vallejo, CA, at the CENTURY 14 VALLEJO, for the 9:30 p.m. show in auditorium 8, 5th row ( counting from the front ), 8ht column ( counting from the left ). The price of admission was $11.25. And I bought a Lil' Bites snack pack ( buttered popcorn, beef jerky and Powerade Mountain Berry Blast ) for $6.60 at the concessions counter.

Quickie Review: Since the dim distant past of evolution, a special type of subservient species has been in constant, restless search for a super villain to serve under. In the late '60s, they come across the world's first female super villain, a villain that they are eager to the henchmen of. But, first, the bumbling minions must prove themselves worthy of such a highly-coveted priviledge.

The audience liked this origin movie. I liked this movie, too. Go see it if you're a Minions fan.

I liked the Caveman scene, the Yeti scene, the Pharaoh scene, the Napoleon Bonaparte scene, the Count Dracula scene, the Wannabe Henchmen Fight scene, the Peekaboo Blouse scene and the King Bob scene.

Oh, if you do go and see this movie, please stay 'til after the Ending Credits as there is a "Bollywood"-style song-and-dance scene. I was the only one in the audience who was SMART Enough to stay for this bonus scene at the very end!

The Minions, supposedly, speak gibberish. But with words in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Korean, Japanese and Tagalog thrown in for good measure. I, myself, have picked up words spoken in English, French, Spanish and Tagalog. The Minions also use food references, with the ubiquitous "Banana" word thrown here and there and everywhere! Ha, ha, ha.
