But all these bits and pieces are jumbled together and not cohesive enough to make sense as a story. The movie is discordant, like a bunch of musicians playing unfamiliar instruments (or a bunch of \u2014 dare I say \u2014 Minions given instruments) and trying to make a coherent song. But amid that chaos, sometimes the music starts sounding good \u2014 a cool jazzy saxophone solo soars briefly above the cacophony.
