I don’t know whether to be concerned, or amazed at this movie. An adoption agency turns over three children to an evil person, without doing much checking. I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry at how nearly accurate that is at times. Beyond that, the evil genius has a heart and turns out to be a good guy? So is this really a good guy all along and pretending to be bad, or now a bad guy pretending to be good. Either way, I’m not sure it’s a good idea for children to trust someone such as this.

I suppose those things aside the movie really is relatively benign. We all want to hope for less evil and more good in the world and on that note it has merit.

The minions are hysterical. Pulling antics from photocopying their rears to lots of playful teasing with the other minions. They really are what make this movie entertaining and without them, the movie would fall flat.

Although I think the humor is relatively harmless, if you are incredibly strict about content and don’t allow fart jokes or other such silliness, this movie isn’t for you. It’s more geared towards the 6 and up crowd, but younger kids might enjoy parts of it too.
