Despicable Me 4 Synopsis

Gru, Lucy, Margo, Edith, Agnes and our favorite minions, return to the big screen this week in Despicable Me 4 with a tiny addition…Gru Jr. As this super-villain family turned Anti-Villain League agents navigate life with a new baby (who loves tormenting his dad), Gru returns to his alma mater to capture one of the most notorious villains and his nemesis, Maxime Le Mal.

Maxime Le Mal takes his villainous to a new level and puts Gru and his family on the run, while the minions train for their new roles within the AVL and some even become epic Mega Minions leading to a lot of laughs and some truly lucky saves.

We screened the movie on Monday and I have to admit, I was unsure how they were going to continue this franchise. The movies have felt very predictable but I also think that is part of what keeps us coming back. We know that Gru is going to be awkward, that the storyline is going to be a bit cheesy and those super villain nemesis are going to be even more goofy.

So is Despicable Me 4 worth seeing? I think the answer is mostly yes. If you are a Despicable Me fan, if you love the characters and want some more minion chaos and antics then absolutely this is going to fulfill your expectations and I think we can all agree that laughing with friends and family is what we all need. So go see it!
