What did you think of this film?

This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created.

After the title card, the “fake credits” appear with James getting credit as writer and director, and Henry and Ed as the producers. The cast is then listed, naming every single Minion that appeared in the movie. Then comes the first scene where Kevin, Stuart, and Bob find the book of magic spells. They look over and see young Gru and his (normal) dog Kyle standing by a fire hydrant. Stuart invokes a spell and the normal dog turns into the ugly and vicious Kyle that we’ve seen in the other Despicable Me movies. Kyle starts chasing Gru and the Minions.
Kevin, Stuart, and Bob standing by an open doorway. Stuart invokes another spell and a portal opens in the floor outside the doorway. Dr. Nefario walks through the doorway and falls into the portal and disappears. Kevin yells at Stuart to do something so he invokes another spell. A second portal opens in the ceiling above the first portal and we see Dr. Nefario continuously falling from the ceiling portal to the floor portal. Stuart says something that contracts the portal opening and Dr. Nefario gets stuck with his legs dancing from the ceiling while his upper body is stuck in the floor. Kevin picks up a broom and starts poking at Dr. Nefario’s butt and the Minions have a good laugh.
Kevin, Stuart, and Bob stand together and invoke another spell together. Larry appears, and the three appear a bit confused. Kevin says the correct spell and Larry changes into Lorinda, a Minion with long blond hair and a red dress.
Bob and Agnes use the spell book and invoke the large, angry pink bunny monster. It roars, but Bob and Agnes think it’s cute, hug it, and run away. The bunny laughs and chases the two offscreen.
Bob and Stuart use the spell book to conjure up a cat with Gru’s face. After hearing it meow, they produce a sheep with Gru’s face. Then they make him into a penguin, and while they laugh the real adult Gru walks up behind them. Bob and Stuart then produce a pig version of Gru, and the real Gru finally coughs and makes his presence known. Stuart nervously looks through the book and invokes another spell which makes the adult Gru naked. Gru screams and runs offscreen while Stuart and Bob laugh.
As the credits end, the woman singing holds a high note for an extremely long time and struggles to continue holding it, wavering and gasping at the end.

The Elusive EGOT – Who’s Got It? Who’s Close?

It’s the Holy Grail of show business: winning all four of the major American entertainment awards. To get the elusive EGOT, a person must win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony award. Most performers are thrilled to win just one of these prestigious awards, but for a select group of entertainers, one was not enough.

Famous EGOT holders include Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno and Whoopi Goldberg. Mel Brooks once turned down Kennedy Center Honors because he felt he had won enough awards, declaring “I’m an EGOT, so I don’t need any more.” In total, 11 people have the EGOT, with several more poised to join this elite crowd.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker

Comedic team Matt Stone and Trey Parker hold four Emmys each (for “South Park”) plus seven Tonys and a Grammy for “The Book of Mormon.” All they have left to EGOT is an Oscar (although the goofy duo was nominated, they never won). With “Book of Mormon” shows consistently selling out, there has been rampant speculation of a movie adaptation in the works. Perhaps that Oscar isn’t so far away after all.

Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet is so close to the EGOT she can taste it. With an Emmy for “Mildred Pierce,” a Grammy for “Listen to the Storyteller,” and an Oscar for “The Reader,” Winslet just needs to bring home a Tony. She has the magnificent singing voice to pull off a musical and studied at a theater school as a child, giving her the acting chops to pull in that coveted Tony. Winslet was thrilled to win an Oscar, showing that she has the drive to get the EGOT.

Cynthia Nixon

With an Emmy for “Sex and the City,” a Grammy for her spoken work in the global warming documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” and a Tony for “Rabbit Hole,” Cynthia Nixon is on her way to EGOT. Thus far, her biggest commercial successes in film have been the “Sex and the City” movies, but they’re scarcely the types of films to merit an Oscar. If Nixon takes on a head-turning role, an Oscar might be within her reach.

Barbra Streisand

A critics’ darling, Barbra Streisand’s EGOT status is hotly debated. She holds several Grammys, including one for 1963 Album of the Year, an Oscar for her performance in “Funny Girl” and four Emmys for “Barbra Streisand: The Concert.” Although she won a Tony in 1970, sticklers contend that it’s an honorary Tony that doesn’t count for EGOT status. Perhaps Barbra will return to the stage to earn a competitive Tony, but she may be content with her honorary EGOT status.

Robin Williams

In his years as an entertainer, Robin Williams has amassed a handful of Grammys for his comedy albums, two Emmys, and an Oscar for “Good Will Hunting.” All that remains is a Tony. Although Williams has appeared on Broadway in the past, he’ll need to brush up on his acting skills to be in the running for the last piece of his EGOT.
