The banana-loving creatures return in Minions & Monsters, we get The Invite, and rock out with the comedy Nirvanna: The Band-The Show-The Movie at the cinema this week.
BELLO! You can guess what the biggest release in cinemas this week is by that simple word alone. Those lovable banana-loving, madcap, crazy, and completely brilliant creatures are back in their new movie, Minions & Monsters. If that isn’t to your liking, you could try Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton in the comedy, The Invite. Or maybe you fancy a return to 2008 with the comedy Nirvanna: The Band-The Show-The Movie. With two other movies opening this week, there’s a great lineup of entertainment at the cinema.
MINIONS & MONSTERS
Universal Pictures-Released Wednesday 1st July
Synopsis: The Minions band together to save the day after unleashing monsters upon an unsuspecting world.
Cast: Allison Janney, Jeff Bridges, Jesse Eisenberg, Trey Parker
Director: Pierre Coffin
Cert: U
We saw the film this past weekend, and we couldn’t stop laughing throughout. Our reviewer, Phil Roberts, had this to say about the film:
“Overall, Minions & Monsters is the epitome of animated brilliance. After two stellar outings, one could be forgiven for thinking the franchise was about to run out of steam. But thanks to the love and energy of Pierre Coffin, the franchise continues to defy expectations. The result is a film that not only meets expectations but surpasses them, firmly establishing itself as the best Minions adventure to date.”
