In the first Despicable Me<\/em> movie in seven years, Gru, the world\u2019s favorite supervillain-turned-Anti-Villain League-agent, returns for an exciting, bold new era of Minions mayhem in Illumination\u2019s Despicable Me 4.<\/em> Gru, Lucy, Margo, Edith, and Agnes welcome a new member to the family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad. Gru faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal and his femme fatale girlfriend Valentina and the family is forced to go on the run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

KIDS FIRST! Film Critic Calee N. comments, \u201cGet ready to raise your glasses and say, “Kanpai” (cheers) in celebration as the Gru family returns in Despicable Me 4!<\/em> The familiar and lovable characters are back, bringing with them a hilarious and entertaining storyline that definitely had me laughing out loud.\u201d Katherine S. adds, \u201cI enjoyed Despicable Me 4<\/em>! It\u2019s full of slapstick comedy plus new and old characters. The animation is so high quality it\u2019s despicable.\u201d Ari P. adds, \u201cMy favorite characters in this film are the Minions and Poppy Prescott (Joey King). The Minions have always been energetic and filled with slapstick comedy, and they have never failed to make me laugh.\u201d Emma O. adds, \u201cOne thing I love about Despicable Me 4<\/em> is \u2026 the Minions. They\u2019re consistent as the main protagonists in the Gru family.  They offer constant on-screen antics, and their silly behavior kept me laughing.\u201d  Kendall B. wraps it up with, \u201cMy favorite part of this film is the last scene where Gru and Maxime have a karaoke competition and perform it at the local jail. In this scene there are nods to all the past movies including the Despicable Me<\/em> and Minions<\/em> films. I won\u2019t spoil it, but it’s a great Easter egg that plays tribute to the previous films.\u201d See their full reviews and Calee\u2019s interview with Miranda Cosgrove and Joey King below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
