“Despicable Me 4” Movie Review

Kevin says Despicable Me 4 kinda rocks!
Gru and the gang are back for another Despicable Me movie.
By the fourth film (with a couple stand-alone minion flicks along the way), these movies have hit a stride. They don’t have the emotional sweetness of the first film, but they know their place.
It’s all about absurdity and zaniness. And this one certainly leans into that. Things kick off with a supervillain turning into a human cockroach (without the Kafkaesque malaise) to exact revenge, sending Gru and his family into hiding.
Then we head into sit-com mode with multiple storylines ranging from fitting in a quote-unquote “normal suburban life” to the Minions overrunning a secret base and gaining super powers.
Don’t look for logic or even coherency with this film. Just give into the silly and watch it like a child would. If you don’t expect too much charm, heart, or basic common sense, you can have a lot of fun. For all the two-hour cartoons that Hollywood makes, this is definitely the cartooniest, and that mindset is the only way to enjoy it.
DESPICABLE ME 4 gets three and a half bananas out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
