July Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss3 of 29
Minions: The Rise of Gru | In Theaters on Friday, July 1
Plot: The untold story of one twelve-year-old's dream to become the world's greatest supervillain.
Our Take: Since Despicable Me became an animated sensation back in 2010, a Minion-verse has quietly been forming, spawning two sequels and a Minion-centric movie. The franchise shifts to prequel mode with Minions: The Rise of Gru, which traces the supervillain's early days as a fanboy of a supergroup called the Vicious 6. With loyal Minions at his side (including a braces-clad new guy named Otto), Gru sets out to prove his evil abilities in an attempt to replace the legendary Evil Knuckles (voiced by Alan Arkin). — Hannah
