Our take
Despicable Me 4 adds a baby to Gru's house and a showy new villain. You get cartoon explosions, minion chaos, and mild creature-gags. No swearing and no sex. Fine for most young kids who already watch these films. The loudest chases may startle preschoolers
Uplifting themes
A chaotic dad still shows up for a baby and the girls
Story (may spoil tone)
Gru and Lucy and their girls—Margo, Edith and Agnes—welcome a new member to the Gru family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad. Gru also faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal and his femme fatale girlfriend Valentina, forcing the family to go on the run.
