There’s something to be said for stepping into an air conditioned theater as the summer heats up. Each year, my family and I look very forward to seeing the movies that come out aimed at kids and we were counting down the days until we got to see an advanced screening of Minions, that opens in theaters this Friday, July 10.
The story is a prequel that takes our favorite yellow fellas back to the 60’s in search of a new super villain to follow. Truth be told, my husband and I felt it was [Read more…] about Movie Review of Minions Movie
