Movie Review – Despicable Me 4
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.
