Critics Reviews:
- ""It’s pure E numbers – 90 minutes of mad animals, disco music, violence and belching – and if a good film can be made of those things, this is what it looks like."" – Robbie Collin (Daily Telegraph (UK))
- ""[Is] Despicable Me 4 great? No. Not at all. But I did laugh. More importantly, so did all the children. Sometimes that’s enough. This is one of those “sometimes.”" – Sara Michelle Fetters (MovieFreak.com)
- ""The sequel isn’t a masterpiece of children’s entertainment by any stretch, but it is sufficiently bizarre and thrilling enough to turn the head of any kid, parent or fully grown and childless adult around and around till the room resembles a Looney Tune."" – Barry Hertz (Globe and Mail)
- ""How typical of these “Despicable” filmmakers to tug at our hearts and also remind us that the series is more about family than goons, gadgets and goofy schemes. For my money, Despicable Me 4 is the best outing of this franchise since its inception."" – Peter Howell (Toronto Star)
