Despicable Me 3

In general, any movie with "3" in it is to be avoided.  But since I had not seen 1 or 2, I figured I'd see what the Minions were all about.

Turns out, the Minions were the real stars, without saying much.  Any time they come on screen, the audience got excited.  Afterwards, I noticed many people wearing Minions clothes.  I expect more from this bunch.

Steve Carrell voices Gru, a bad guy turned good and bored silly (the Incredibles).  When he finds out he has a brother Dru, he goes to find him.  Dru is also bored and convices Gru to do one final heist.  The white and black outfits make this an homage to Spy v. Spy and the whole story turns as a satire of Bond/Austin Powers movies.   Mad Magazine would approve of this story.
