Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
The world's favorite supervillain-turned-Anti-Villain-League-agent returns for a bold new era of Minions mayhem in Illumination's Despicable Me 4. Gru, Lucy and their girls welcome a new member to the family—Gru Jr.—who is intent on tormenting his dad, as a new nemesis shows up and forces the family to go on the run. This latest blockbuster chapter in the biggest global animated franchise in history is packed with nonstop action and filled with Illumination's signature subversive humor.
"Despicable Me 4 may seem like an excess in a franchise that has already established itself and, at the time of this film's release, already had three movies about Gru and company, two about the Minions, and many, many shorts. However, the film serves almost as a closure to the story, showing the new paths of this quite dysfunctional family when Gru welcomes a new family member: his son, Gru Jr. Additionally, while dealing with the little one, things get challenging when a crime mentor escapes from prison and vows revenge against Gru. A film with a simple, fun story that should excite children -- and not so much adults."
