Directed by Patrick Delage, Chris Renaud.

The secret, of course, is the Minions: those denim-clad yellow blobs of chummy chaos, amiably yearning to be the best sidekicks a villain ever had even if they're far too inept and friendly to really spread evil.
The idea seems to make Gru and family fishes out of water – a bunch of lovable weirdos in suburbia. But that’s the set up for the entire franchise, that everyday folks seemingly turn a blind eye to a madman and his little monsters living next door. Le Mal himself is the weakest villain in the series and was seemingly written as a thin excuse to get another mid-2000s comedy star with a dodgy European accent in the cast. Once he’s there, he’s barely an afterthought.
Thank goodness, then, for the Minions themselves. Even they aren’t immune to the dead-end scripting, with the super-powered Mega Minions failing to tug on Superman’s cape, but a recurrent gag about a vending machine provides a few decent chortles. Yet we have twomovies, and they still feel as weirdly fresh, funny, and endearing as ever. That’s what makes it all so disappointing that these films just can’t find a new scheme for Gru that’s as despicably delightful as the original.
