Minions The Rise Of Gru traces the story of a young Gru in his quest to join a group of supervillains. And unwittingly, Gru finds himself in a bit of a pickle. The story is pretty good but I didn’t really sign up here for the story. The screenplay standing at less than 90 minutes makes for a quick watch and that is a good thing as you did not really need to have a character buildup here(you have done it over 2 franchise already).

The drama opens with a little context of the super villains in a fun sequence involving them acquiring a stone. Soon after, a young Gru and his army of Minions are introduced and the fun just starts to kick in. There are hilarious moments in the screenplay which are not only entertaining but also will make you laugh hysterically. There is very little that you could go wrong with the Minions!

The drama unfolds in the form of a cat and mouse chase with multiple subplots centered around the same idea. This is a lot of fun although I wished a little more screentime was given to the supervillains. But the Minions keep you entertained by their goofy antics which might seem silly but would satisfy the little kid inside you so much so that you will be enjoying every moment of it. In between there are a few emotional moments momentarily which are cleverly integrated in the screenplay. The final act also ties all the subplots pretty well although it could have been slightly more fleshed out maybe? But with the Minions, there is always that little bias which I have and so I will let that pass. The screenplay needed to be entertaining and funny and it definitely serves its purpose.
