'Despicable Me 4' delivers more of what we've come to expect from this franchise. The first installment of Kevin Costner's planned four-chapter epic Western can be pretty. But it's also disjointed, violent and raw.

This image release by Illumination & Universal Pictures shows Gru, voiced by Steve Carell, in a scene from “Despicable Me 4,” “Despicable Me 4” delivers more of what we’ve come to expect from this franchise. When a pastor’s wife is convicted that their family needs to adopt hurting kids, it ignites an adoption revolution in “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possom Trot.” The first installment of Kevin Costner’s planned four-chapter epic Western can be pretty.

The movie likewise stays the course regarding its prevalent content issues — namely, toilet humor gags, slapstick violence, and a yellow minion rear. In fact, you’d be able to find most of the content issues written in this review in our reviews of previous franchise entries. That said, this film might have less toilet humor and mildly suggestive gags than some of its predecessors.

And in that “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot” does something significant: It inspires and challenges viewers to consider whether we, too, might seek to make a life-changing difference in the life of a child in foster care. But it never suggests that doing so will require anything less than everything we’ve got.
