Wednesday Whatever: Minions - Rise of Gru


 I have been back to Texas for a week or so now. As promised I've been whining  about the heat. So, how best to escape? Pay to sit in air-conditioned big screen splendor. Ray and I are catching up on our movie list. 

Minions: Rise of Gru is silly, stupid fun. That's really all the description needed. Steve Carell voices Gru and his pitch, intonation, etc adds to the ridiculousness of this character. Gru is eleven in this movie and wants to join the Supervillain  6. His favorite villain has been kicked  out, Gru has stolen the magic power  stone, and now everyone is battling for the top spot. 

There are chases, evil plots, and of course silly minions trying to help  their boss, Gru.  Oh Kevin,  Otto, et  al - with their weird yellow bodies and crazy language skills.  Ray and I couldn't help but laugh. 

We were amused, and got our money's worth of movie and cool  air. Aaahh - Summer matinee!
