My whole family is enamored with Minions. It started with Despicable Me, and when we saw Despicable Me 2 in the theaters, well, we laughed until our sides hurt. Now that the new film is available for purchase, we’ll be able to watch and watch it again and again. I actually took one of the toy minions we have to Seattle with me- he even had his own hashtag, #MicrosoftMinion! The kids were going to miss me, so I took something with me that they’d love to see and snapped pics everywhere “we” went. He’s a well traveled minion, that’s for sure. 
Reason #1
The Minions. Many of us fell in love with the banana loving, raspberry blowing Minions in the original Despicable Me movie. This time, they are a big part of the movie, and make it even MORE hilarious!
Reason #2
Gru likes a lady. He’s a billion kinds of awkward but you want him to have a happy ending. It’s cute, and it’s funny.
Reason #3
Gru gets to deal with boys around his daughters
Reason #4
The “Puppy” Mini Movie.
Reason #5
I haven’t met anyone at all who hasn’t laughed and laughed through this movie.
Reason #6
The girl gets the guy. The guy gets the girl. Call me cliche but I love happy endings. The guy no one thought was lovable. 🙂
As a bonus? Get the Despicable Me 2 Operation Game. It’s the same Operation fun we all had as kids, but it’s done Minion style. We love it. (And as an aside, our kittens ate the fart-blaster piece from it, so I had to call Hasbro and politely ask them if they could maybe replace our Fart Blaster. Which made the customer service rep AND me giggle a lot. She did send it).
