To be really blunt, I wasn't excited for this film when it was first announced in November and I'm sure not changing my opinion now.
Something that has to be mentioned, is Illumination has been touting that the film will feature 85 "Hit Songs" that'll be sung by the cast. For me that's a massive red flag, not only this is a Jukebox Musical, but one that's trying to cram as many different songs as it can into the film.
On another forum in reaction to this trailer someone said it best. "When older audiences say they don't like kids/animated movies, this is what they mean." Ouch.
