Minions The World’s #1 Comedy Of The Year #Minions

*Product received. Opinions are my own. This post includes my affiliate links.

My hubby and two older kids went and saw Minions at the theater while I stayed home with my littlest  one. When it was sent to us to review, I FINALLY was able to see what all the hype was about! So did my little one!

I want to say, that before I saw this movie, the Minions voices irritated me! I am sorry, but they did! But after I watched this movie, I got it. I thought this movie was ADORABLE and hilarious! Those little Minions certainly know how to put on a show!

After the movie was over, my 2-year-old cried and screamed until we turned it BACK ON. We got this movie a week ago and EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. my toddler HAS to watch the Minions at least two times each day, sigh! But, I have to say, when I do let him watch this movie, I get A LOT of things done!!

I will peek in on my little one and he is SO into this movie. He is either dancing, laughing or REALLY serious when he watches this movie. It is so adorable!!!

About Minions

The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters.  Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters—from T. rex to Napoleon—the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he—alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob—ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embark upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award^®-winner Sandra Bullock), the world’s first-ever female super-villain.  They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in ‘mod’ London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind…from annihilation.
