Despicable Me 4's credits includes comedy heavyweights like Will Ferrell, and The White Lotus' Mike White. But was a sixth instalment in this franchise really necessary?
In post-apocalyptic steampunk film Mortal Engines , a pair of dusty Minion statues stand tall in a museum, mistakenly believed to be American deities.As we reach our sixth movie in the Despicable Me Cinematic Universe, that throwaway detail of our dystopic future is beginning to feel less like a joke.
Despicable Me 4 misses the opportunity to tell a story about families making the most of sudden change and breaching unfamiliar terrain as a team, the new setting largely being an excuse to poke fun at snooty suburbanites. It doesn't help that the film has few worthwhile jokes. Illumination, the animation studio behind Despicable Me , seems to specialise in a comedic sensibility typically reserved for Gen X Facebook memes.
Despicable Me 4 arrives only a week after Inside Out 2. Both are limp, reheated leftovers, but the latter has already proven a box office hit, and it wouldn't surprise me if Gru's latest outing repeated the billion-dollar success of previous entries. After all, no new family movies are slated to arrive in theatres until the locally made 200% Wolf in August.
