At The Theater

Minions: The Rise of Gru–Long before he becomes the master of evil, Gru (Steve Carell) is just a 12-year-old boy in 1970s suburbia, plotting to take over the world from his basement. It is not going particularly well. When Gru crosses paths with the Minions, including Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto–a new Minion sporting braces and a desperate need to please–this unexpected family joins forces. Together, they build their first lair, design their first weapons, and strive to execute their first missions. Gru eventually finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil, and discovers that even bad guys need a little help from their friends.
