Critics Consensus
The funniest Minions outing in years leans into old-school monster-movie pastiche instead of sequel fatigue, and its genuine affection for classic Hollywood filmmaking carries it past a plot that's really just an excuse for gags.
Celluloid Critics Consensus
Critics and audiences are closely aligned on this one.
What is Minions & Monsters about?
When a washed-up monster-movie studio's back lot gets overrun by an actual creature, the Minions stumble into the middle of a decades-old Hollywood feud between rival horror auteurs. What follows is equal parts monster-movie parody and backstage caper, as Gru's tiny yellow helpers try to save the picture, the studio, and possibly the world — mostly by accident.
