Screen Daily
A surprisingly demented delight; a crazy, spirited, if simplistic fusion of off-beat adult humour blended with the sensibility of an anarchic toddler. - 80
Total Film
The breakout stars of the Despicable Me franchise seize the spotlight in an enjoyably demented off-shoot that is guaranteed to send their young fans bananas. - 80
Time Out London
The action sequences are wild, the jokes relentlessly dumb-but-smart, and the sheer sense of anything-goes daftness...is glorious. - 75

Stronger on concept than story, Brian Lynch’s Minions script emphasizes scale over quantity. - 70
TheWrap
While the minions are certainly little, yellow and different, Minions has probably mined them for about as much comedy as they can provide as leading men. - 60
Empire
