From Common Sense Media:
Parents need to know that Despicable Me 4 is part of the popular supervillain-turned-good animation franchise. This time around, Gru (again voiced by Steve Carell) -- who's now working hard on raising spirited baby Gru Jr. (which is more challenging than he imagined) -- and his family face another life-or-death threat in the form of escaped supervillain Maxime Le Mal (Will Ferrell) and his partner-in-crime, Valentina (Sofia Vergara). Expect lots of comic violence (including peril, destruction, and characters who are nearly injured during capers) and a couple of insults like "loser" and "idiot," as well as Minion-speak words that sound like "poop." There's a glimpse of a Minion butt, plus plenty of Minion jokes and pranks and bathroom humor. But there are also lots of heartfelt family moments and themes of communication and teamwork.
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, The Globe and Mail
