It stars Lakshya and Tanya Maniktala in the lead as the protagonist and Raghav Juyal in a negative role. The plot revolves around a train journey during which a pair of commandos face an army of invading bandits.

This is not a Pixar movie that appeals to adults just as much as kids. (BTW, this is a Universal/Illumination production.) It’s pretty much a young kids’ movie, beginning to end. This is one of those movies that mom and dad do rock, paper, scissors to decide who has to sit through the movie with their kid(s).

There were a lot of children in the theater when I saw the movie and they all seemed engaged in the antics. I heard giggles and other reactions throughout. I even heard a young girl say, “This movie was awesome,” to her parent as they walked out of the theater.

The one cool thing I got out of the movie was that Stephen Colbert was the voice of their new neighbor. But at the same time, Will Ferrell was totally wasted as the voice for Maxime. I had no idea that was him. They could have gotten anyone to do that character with a horrible French accent.

Grade: A (for kids) D (for adults).

About The Peetimes: I have two good Peetimes. There are a few antics in each, but nothing major. I would recommend the 2nd Peetime. It’s one long scene that is easy to summarize.

There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Despicable Me 4.

Plot
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 girlfriend Valentina, and the family is forced to go on the run.

NEW YORK (OSV News) – Though it comes across as somewhat unfocused, the animated comedy “Despicable Me 4” (Universal) retains much of the charm that has characterized the whole series of films to which it belongs. It’s an agreeable piece of fun that’s suitable for all but the very youngest.

This latest chapter in the adventures of Gru (voice of Steve Carell), the would-be supervillain whose heart of gold long ago turned him into a loving dad and a crimefighter, opens with him assisting in the arrest and imprisonment of French criminal Maxime Le Mal (voice of Will Ferrell). Le Mal vows vengeance on Gru’s family and manages to escape in short order.

With Le Mal on the loose, Gru and the clan — Kristen Wiig voices his sensible wife, Lucy — have to go into hiding and assume false identities. But Poppy (voice of Joey King), the daughter of their preppy, country club patronizing new neighbors, the Prescotts (voices of Stephen Colbert and Chloe Fineman), discovers their secret and uses it to blackmail Gru.

While the comic chaos wrought by Gru’s trademark Twinkie-shaped minions continues to evoke laughs, director Chris Renaud’s addition to a franchise he helped to establish goes down too many plot paths at once. Some of the details of the story — Le Mal’s goal is to kidnap infant Gru Jr., for instance — also seem a bit challenging for kids.

Genuinely objectionable ingredients are kept out of the mix. And there’s a morally interesting, though underdeveloped, subplot about the refusal of one of Gru’s adopted daughters to use the pseudonym she’s been given on the grounds that it would constitute lying.

Yet scenes of danger, a touch of potty humor and a minion mooning may give the parents of the littlest moviegoers pause.

The film contains characters in peril, a flash of nonhuman rear nudity and a scatological sight gag. The OSV News classification is A-I — general patronage. The Motion Picture Association rating is PG — parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children.
