PG (Violence)
Directed by Kyle Balda
Starring Pierre Coffin, Steve Carell
When supervillain supergroup the Vicious 6 oust their leader, Wild Knuckles (voiced by Alan Arkin), a young and inspired Gru interviews to become their newest member but messes it up so bad that he finds himself the group's new sworn enemy. Now running for his life, he must turn to an unlikely source of help - Wild Knuckles himself - to fend off his foes and realize his evil potential.
Featuring more spectacular action than any film in Illumination history and packed with the franchise’s signature subversive humor, Minions: The Rise of Gru stars a thrilling new cast, including, the Vicious 6: Taraji P. Henson as cool and confident leader Belle Bottom, whose chain belt doubles as a lethal disco-ball mace; Jean-Claude Van Damme as the nihilistic Jean Clawed, who’s armed (literally) with a giant robotic claw; Lucy Lawless as Nunchuck, whose traditional nun’s habit hides her deadly nun-chucks; Dolph Lundgren as Swedish roller-skate champion Svengeance, who dispenses his enemies with spin kicks from his spiked skates; and Danny Trejo as Stronghold, whose giant iron hands are both a menace to others and a burden to him.
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING
"The jokes come fast and furious, not caring if they land or don’t land, it's just amazingly fun. This made me laugh, and when the Minions co-star, the films in this series are much better." ★★★★-WBGR-FM
"Minions: The Rise of Gru is spectacularly fun and silly with enough heart and humor to please the entire family." -The Independent Critic
