Moviegoers are saying
Reviewers rate Minions & Monsters low, with scores between 3 and 5 out of 10, but they keep quoting its best bits. One viewer catalogued the film's parade of cinema history, from "The Horse in Motion" to "Babylon," while a 6-year-old left his parent with orange juice in his nose over a Citizen Kane parody. The audience seems to enjoy the Minions' chaos and meta-humor more than the overall package.

    Here are some of the old movie references I caught in Minions & Monsters (please comment any I missed): • “The Horse in Motion” (1878) • “Dog Running” (1887) • “L'Arroseur Arrosé” (1895) • “Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory” (1895) • “Train Pulling Into a Station”…

    this movie got my 6-year-old son to shoot orange juice out of his nose because he was laughing so hard at a Citizen Kane parody. The Minions are no longer my mortal enemies they are now my close personal friends.

Director Pierre Coffin, making his first solo outing on the franchise while once again providing the voices of every single Minion, leans heavily into the characters’ roots in slapstick. The result is packed with affectionate nods to pre-Code Hollywood, while also finding room for playful references to Singin’ in the Rain, Jaws, The Blob and The Matrix.

Manic and breezily entertaining, it’s a fun ride, but even at 90 minutes, it feels overlong.

Minions Monsters is filled with lighthearted, disordered caricatures and lampoons of dozens of films from the Golden Age and earlier, all dispersed without much rhyme or reason other than adhering to the movie’s theme.
