‘Minions: The Rise of Gru’ rejoins our favorite little troublemaking helpers in the 1970’s, now working for a 12-year old Gru who has begun to form his future criminal legacy. Packed with the franchise’s signature subversive humor, MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU features more thrilling action than any Despicable Me film ever before! Please Note: Universal Pictures Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Post. With Gru on the run, the Minions attempt to learn martial arts to help save him, and Gru discovers that even bad guys need a little help from their friends. When the infamous supervillain group, the Vicious 6, ousts their leader, Gru attempts to join their ranks but soon finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. Long before he becomes the master of evil, Gru is just a 12-year-old boy in 1970s suburbia, plotting to take over the world from his basement. With that in mind, we decided to rank the songs on the soundtrack with the hope of finding what’s good, what’s bad, and what “Cecilia” covered by the Minions sounds like.Minions: The Rise Of Gru (Collector’s Edition) Ĭast: Steve Carell, Pierre Coffin, Taraji P. Still, uncool didn’t stop Pharrell’s Despicable Me 2 song “Happy” from dominating the airwaves on real actual pop stations for an interminable length of time, which means we still have to take Minions music (somewhat) seriously. The entire project seems like something that sounded really cool in a boardroom. Super-producer and Taylor Swift friend Jack Antonoff “produced and curated” the album, which the press release refers to as a “sun-soaked 70’s inspired soundtrack.” It features staples of the current “famous at liberal-arts colleges but unknown to moms” scene like Phoebe Bridgers, Brockhampton, and Tame Impala plus actual ’70s artists Diana Ross and Earth, Wind & Fire member Verdine White, and it is clearly intended to provoke the reaction “Phoebe Bridgers is on a Minions album? Wow!” Yet its surface-level prestige makes it more annoying than enjoyable. The Minions: The Rise of Gru soundtrack is out, and it wants to be cool.
