In the first Despicable Me movie in seven years, Gru, the world's favorite supervillain-turned-Anti-Villain League-agent, returns for an exciting, bold new era of Minions mayhem in Illumination's Despicable Me 4. Following the 2022 summer blockbuster phenomenon of Illumination's Minions: The Rise of Gru, which earned almost $1 billion worldwide, the biggest global animated franchise in history now begins a new chapter as Gru (Oscar® nominee Steve Carrell) and Lucy (Oscar® nominee Kristen Wiig) and their girls--Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier) and Agnes (Madison Polan)--welcome a new member to the Gru family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad. Gru faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal (Emmy winner Will Ferrell) and his femme fatale girlfriend Valentina (Emmy nominee Sofia Vergara), and the family is forced to go on the run.

Critics Consensus

Fast paced and teeming with slapstick gags, Despicable Me 4 is as overstuffed as a piñata but full of enough candy to give audiences an enjoyable sugar rush.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

The biggest problem with Despicable Me 4 is that it isn't The Mininos Movie 2.

Times (UK)

Yet it’s saved by the trademark mischief and exuberance of Illumination, the French animators who are as integral to the franchise as Steve Carell’s vaguely Slavic voice acting.

Rated: 3/5

The franchise does not particularly need yet another sequel, but the success of the Despicable Me series is most likely not going to stop anytime soon.

Giving the villain in Despicable Me 4 a cockroach fixation is an apt metaphor for the plot, which scatters all over the place like those buggers when the lights click on.

Despicable Me 4, the fourth in the series plus two Minion films, lacks in plot, but its intended audience likely won't mind.

I loved this movie because it has a good plot. Some very funny jokes, but you have to listen for some of them. I do wish the Minions had a little more of a role in this movie. I loved the one in the vending machine. So cute. The neighbor was a good idea. If you need to just take a day and relax, have some downtime and laugh, see this movie.
