In an early scene Clive the Robot ejects a cassette tape and spins it and inserts it to play the other side, which would put the open tape end on the wrong side of the tape deck. It needs to be spun around as well to keep the open tape end on the correct side of the deck. See more »

Okay fine I'll admit it I'm a big Despicable Me fan and I love minions, don't judge me!
I thought both of the first two Despicable Me movies were fantastic and to a lesser extent enjoyed Minions (2015) so logically I was going to enjoy this, but did I?
Well it has the same charm, it has the great voice talent, it has a stellar soundtrack and it has minions! What is there to dislike?
Well I don't dislike it but truth be told it's not on par with the other movies, I don't know quite what it was but I just wasn't feeling it this time as a lot of the jokes missed their mark, the minions took a backseat and the twin brother aspect of the plot was a tad weak.
Regardless Despicable Me 3 is a lot of fun for all the family complete with lots of jokes that the parents will appeciate and a great retro 80's soundtrack.
Being a big South Park fan I really appreciated the work put into this by Trey Parker, he's a multi-talented fella as demonstrated here.
The franchise still has life in it and hopefully won't be going away anytime soon.
BANANA!
The Good:
Great soundtrack
Same ol'charm
Trey Parker
The Bad:
Story is weaker than previous films
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Giant titan mechs can be made by one single person in a matter of days
Trey Parker needs more voice work
I want a uni-goat!
If she doesn't get fluffy back in the next movie I'm rioting.........awkwardly..........by myself
