Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Home Makeover" is another pretty short spin-off that came out after the first "Despicable Me". This one actually features all the characters and not only the Minions, the girls have some screen time and Gru appears at the end as well. Kyle Balda directed this one just like the other two short films and he also directed the pretty successful "Minions" movie very recently. His co-director, also like in the other two short films, is Samuel Tourneux, an Academy Award nominee for "Even Pigeons Go to Heaven". Anyway, here a social worker from the orphanage pays an unexpected visit, but sadly Gru is not home, so the girls (and the Minions) take care of the issue. All in all, not as funny as I hoped sadly. These short films are certainly weaker than the feature movies.

Michael_Elliott Home Makeover (2010) *** (out of 4) Charming short from the DECPICABLE ME series has a social worker coming to Gru's home to see if it's live-able for children so Edith, Margo and Agnes must get the house cleaned up and remodeled. Of course the minions are along to help out. This is certainly better than the main feature itself as well as the other shorts that were included with its release. There are quite a few funny moments here but the overall film just has a very good flow to it as the minions and the three orphans work around the house and have to come up with creative ideas to cover up the dangerous items there. The stuff dealing with the tennis balls was very funny as was the painting scheme. Fans of the series will certainly enjoy this one.

Gordon-11 This short film is about the minions and the children rushing to create a massive makeover for their home, in time for a social worker's inspection to see if their home is suitable for children."Home Makeover" is only four minutes long if you exclude the credits, but it manages to squeeze a lot in because of the quick paced plot. How the home is so unsuitable for children is quite entertaining to watch. For example, there are axes, needles and even a coffin! The minions work hard to make the home warm and welcoming, and concealing the dangerous items like pros.I enjoyed "Home Makeover" because it is pure fantasy. The home is a fantasy, while the extreme makeover is also fantastical. It provides a temporary escape for life's troubles.
