Steve Carell (Gru) discusses Minions: The Rise of Gru

Minions: The Rise of Gru has to do with a young Gru who is trying to assert his dominance as one of the up-and-coming villains in the world.

He has an interview with the vicious 6 who are the main villains of the day, to try to join their group.

They deny him. So in order to show them what he is worth, he steals this a very important gem.

At that point the movie, the movie launches into mayhem. 

A true villain is somebody who is ultimately not a very good person. I think at his core Gru is a very good person.  He's a good dad, he's a good husband.   He's a quirky dude. He loves the life of villainy, but in the reality, he's kind of a pussycat. 

It's interesting to see sort of the genesis of like what you know where he started, and what he ultimately turned into."

#whatonwhatsgood Express Review 

The movie begins with the Vicious 6 kicking Wild Knuckles out of their gang.

They decide that they want to recruit a new member.  

Gru, 11 years old, wants to be a supervillain. He finally gets his first opportunity when he meets his idols the Vicious 6 which includes their boss Belle Bottom (Taraji P. Henson). Unfortunately, they reject Gru because of his age. Gru gets offended and decides to steal their Zodiac Stone. The minions lose the stone and this leads to all kinds of chaos.

Can the terrible twos (Gru & Wild Knuckles) work together to take on the Vicious 6?

I'm sure you will chuckle a few times during this movie. Minions 2 is a cute animation film for the whole family. It's silly. Enjoy!
