It was even more odd given they added the baby, all but ensuring a set amount of time had to pass. Yet all them look exactly the same 9+ months after the last movie, which in itself is possibly years since the first one.
The worst part is they didn’t even continue the story from the last movie. Where the heck is Dru? Didn’t he and the Minions run away and steal Gru’s car?
@@Goomba1309 Exactly. It’s like they forgot him, remembered him at the last minute, and shoehorned him in to be like “Remember this guy we kinda abandoned?”
Remember how the ending of the third movie where Dru, still wishing to be a supervillain, along with most of the Minions, stole Gru's rocket-powered aircraft and flew away, which prompted Gru and Lucy to decide to give them a five-minute head-start before engaging in pursuit was set up as a cliffhanger ending the fourth movie would follow up on in a fun and exciting way? I do…. 😕😕😕
And that's the weird part. The movie felt like it had cool ideas but not only was there too many but a lot of them were cut short cause the movie was only an hour and 30 mins and we gotta wrap it up with the roach dude. That's the frustrating bit with this movie for me. I feel like it could've been alright had it been concise and ironed the weirder bits. (little to no talk of Dru, Gru casually strolling into villain school, Vector, etc) and probably had a little more runtime to explore what was set up. Instead we got a movie that just kinda does whatever and doesn't really finish what it starts
To be honest, each plot did have potential, but as a show. Cuz this feels like a show turned movie, rather than a normal movie with a set plot. There could’ve been one episode dedicated for each plot, one being them settling in to normal life, one for each of the girls, one for Lucy, maybe a few for Gru and Poppy, and maybe two for cockroach man guy.
15:45 we can't forget the fact that in despicable me 1, when gru was STILL a villain (he didn't completely become a father yet) he still defended the girls, remember the carnival scene?
Remember when the movies have an actual plot? Like Gru saving the girls and fighting Vector in the first movie or him fighting El macho and saving Lucy in the second? Now it's just shenanigans with Minions and random scenes. There's too much stuff in this movie; Gru and the baby, the thief girl and her cat, the villain, the mega Minions, Lucy being chased in a grocery store, the girls learning karate. I would have a headache if i saw this film 😵💫 I'm glad i saw Deadpool and Wolverine instead of Despicable me 4. At least, in DP and Logan the humor is GOOD and the action is fun. The cameos are funny and have a role in the story. I had a great time watching it and the other people in cinema too, they even applause at the end!

My ranking of Despicable Me: Worst to Best 6: Minions 5: Despicable Me 4 4: Despicable Me 3 3: Minions: The Rise of Gru 2: Despicable Me 2 1: Despicable Me
Thank you BeaniieBrian! This movie absolutely sucked! Justice for Agnes! She was straight up bullied by a grown man and neither Lucy nor Gru dealt with it?! Edith was top queen and should've been the one going to Gru's old school! Worst despicable me film! Brilliant videos, you're hilarious and talented ❤
I adore bugs. I am a bug nerd and even I hated the fact they made Maxime a cockroach. You know what would have been cool? Him being able to transform himself into any insect he wanted. Quick getaway? Wasp. Distraction with pretty colors? Butterfly. Wanna do battle with someone in a cool way? Rhino Beetle or Preying Mantis. Like they could have done so much more with the transformation into insect thing. Just ANYTHING other than a cockroach. Also I wanna point out ... Gru can barely pay attention or focus on the three girls he ADOPTED. Why in the hell did he think having a fourth kid was a good idea? I just don't understand the writers mindset here. As it was they barely had the time to devote to these kids in the last movie. Why write in another? And IRL kids can get really upset or depressed when a parent just completely ignores them. Moral of the story ... don't have more kids than you can care for or give your attention to.
While it doesn’t make sense for Vector to be back on Earth, which pretty much retcons the entire events of Mooned, seeing all the villains from the previous movies sing with Gru was a lot more charming and satisfying than Kung Fu Panda 4 having all the previous villains bow in respect to Po.
I think that the villains are done better here than in KFP 4 because they weren’t the focus. Dreamworks made a big deal about the villains returning and only brought back Ian McShane. At least in this film, they are just cameos so it’s a lot more excusable to not bring the voice actors back as well.
Its a flipping despicable me movie. Just dumb, goofy, kids movie. It doesn't have to make sense. That's a cool ending to all this movies if its the last one.
I thought it would be better because of the double side song that is an absolute BANGER Edit: It is wasted tbh. The song works better for spy x family than despicable me 4
as someone who works at the theater i have to say the despicable me 4 are always the dirtiest with like insane garbage. like we found 7 dollars with a sticky note asking us to throw away the shit they left behind like how tf do people afford to waste money like this.
I've said this from the third movie, but I cannot believe they've wasted the potential of these characters for so long. Like, they added a BABY now? When they've yet to do anything with the existing family dynamic? This is Shitty Sitcom Writing 101: spend an entire plot building up to something major, end the story, then completely forget to do anything with what was established prior and sideline characters. Why the hell does Lucy want to be a hair stylist? That woman was shown to be a nigh unstoppable force in the second film...and now she's just a stay at home mom? Why are the gorls picking up more of Gru's habits in their day to day lives? Solving their problems as a super villain would and comedically getting away with it? WHY AREN'T THEY DOING THINGS AS A WHOLE FAMILY? Third movie should've been the family uniting to stop the villain after Lucy got suspended. Gru uses his villainous ways of thinking and methods to catch the bad guy outside the means of the law, and he does it with his family while supporting his wife, his way. From then on, you can have a plot of them being undercover vigilantes and solving crimes in secret. Literally the anti-hero Incredibles. Instead the family got sidelined and we have to put up with a lame clone of Gru. They've completely wasted this premise and now the cast is even more bloated and directionless. Why is Illumination so 25/75 all of the time? At least aim for that Dreamworks 50/50, man, c'mon...
While he did sound like he was having more fun voicing Megamind and Lord Business, I still enjoyed Will Ferrell’s performance as Maxime Le Mal. Especially with the exaggerated French accent he puts on. P.S. If I had a nickel for every time Will Ferrell voiced a villain in an animated movie, I’d have three nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
The one thing that made me not want to watch this movie, ever, is the fact that they're in 'witness protection' but look exactly the same with absolutely no changes to their outfits or hair. I can't be bothered to care about a movie that doesn't do the most basic things in the situations they decide to use. Also for the love of god age the girls up and change their designs PLLEEAASE

a human cockroach bro i had a dream like a few months ago of these roaches coming into my house robbing random stuff and then forming into a human shape full with roaches best part.. I'VE NEVER SEEN A ROACH IRL!! i love my brain lol
10:37 it would be better if the villain of despicable me 4 was literally just megamimd, I don’t even need an explanation on why he’s evil again just gru vs megamimd
This movie is a nothing burger. They didn’t know what to do with any of the characters aside from Gru, the baby was kinda pointless till the end, and the witness protection plot went nowhere, they didn’t go anywhere with it. They could easily have the same kind of plot of the new family along with the villain kid just moved next door to their house. Feels like they only did it because they needed something for the girls to do but even then the girls barely have a part in this movie. My mom loves these movies as she found them funny and even she dislikes the fourth one which I am surprised about. My favorite part is double life and the end because it shows all the past villains which I thought was fun. That’s it.
Alrighty, this sucks and I hate bad villains, so watch me try to make a better backstory for the roach despite being a fanfiction writer with no formal experience whatsoever. Maxime never knew who his parents were, as his father had died from malaria due to a bug bite and his mother perished from difficulties with the pregnancy, to preserve the pg rating and satisfy fans this would not be directly stated but implied through images and dialogue. Maxime is sent to the orphanage of doom, an orphanage made specifically for raising villains which routinely tortures and abuses the children it cares for so they can become real villains. At some point in his life after this, Max graduates from middle school and enters the same evil high school as Gru. The two became fast friends, relating with their love of odd things such as inventions, ice, insects and jelly. Gru was loyal to Maxime and even helped him score a girlfriend, who remained his only female companion due to normal people thinking him too creepy and villains thinking him too flamboyant. Finally, Gru and Maxime signed up for a evil invention project, and both hoped this could be their big break. Max and Gru worked together to create the freeze ray 2.0, a stronger and much more reliable version of the freeze ray that could freeze for longer, hold more fuel, and even freeze things as large as an elephant with some effort. The plan was simple, they would go on stage together and present the evil invention together! Gru and Maxime would share in the notoriety. Except that didn't happen, as Gru had lied to Max the whole time about the nature of the project, only one person could announce the invention. So, when the day came, Maxime holding the notes for the presentation and Gru holding the freeze ray. Gru was called. But not max. Max laughed it off, this was just a misunderstanding... right? But Gru still went up and presented it anyways, winning him clapping and cheers. Max cried "Did I not assist you?!" Gru froze, but lied to the audience "what?! No! I did this on my own!" Max was crushed. Even more crushed when he saw the golden medal of deviousness given to Gru. Maxime's obsession with bugs only grew now. He was as insignificant to his only friend as a quiet housefly. He sat there with tears in his eyes, and his Girlfriend was the only one to comfort him. Maxime moved on with life after that, resuming being a b tier villain without much relevance. He wanted to be a father, but for medical reasons, it just seemed like he couldn't make one. And forget about adopting when you are a supervillain. Unless you have a bunch of goofy minions forging your documents, but Maxime did not. So, seeing Gru again at the reunion, he had hoped Gru wanted to pick up their old friendship. But he was wrong. Gru tried to arrest him, but Maxime fought back by turning into a cockroach and flying away. Maxime wanted revenge now, and you know how super-villains feel about revenge. He looked in on Gru's life, and saw him play with his daughters, interact with his minions, be respected by his colleagues at AVL, all things he just didn't have. And most of all, He had a son. *Maxime began to feel.... jealous.*
This movie was so underwhelming, the only part i really enjoyed was at the end when he sang everybody wants to rule the world and danced with characters from the previous minions and despicable me films. In the advertisment they really emphasized on gru going 'undercover' and hiding his identity but i felt like they could've played more into it. I really felt like i wasted my money going to the cinema for this, i could've happily waited a year or two till it was streaming on Netflix or something... Also i would've loved to see the girls grow up a bit, that would've been interesting.
Following my previous comment about how much I hated Maxime as a villain, it's even worse considering the scales the previous villains were going for and how much Maxime becomes tame in comparison to them. Vector stole a national landmark without anyone knowing it was him (aside from Gru and Vector's dad), El Macho wanted to unleash his Purple Minions on the world (and if anyone tried to stop them, their cities would get eaten by the Purple Minions), Bratt wanted to send an entire city into space where they would possibly DIE due to lack of oxygen, Scarlet wanted to conquer an entire country and was going to kill ALL the Minions just out of hatred for Bob temporarily becoming king, Belle Bottom wanted to destroy the entire AVL along with everyone who works there and wreak havoc alongside all the other Vicious 6 members...while Maxime *just wanted to steal a BABY.*
To be fair stealing a baby is a pretty big crime but it definetly pales in comparison to kidnapping three girls + stealing the pyramid, caused mass destruction and committing genocide. (vector, el macho and bratt).
In my personal opinion from a story perspective, I think "Despicable Me" and "Megamind" as movie concepts would've worked better if their stories following after their first movies were switched...... Gru should've found out about multiple bad guys from his past trying to get together with him to do crime again and take over the world together instead of his brother Dru in the third movie, that way there wouldn't have been no need for a 4th at all! Megamind and Roxanne should've had a kid together at the end of the second movie while he's busy working for the forces of good and taking down another villain, then the third movie of Megamind would be about him and Roxanne's son or daughter needing to grow as a character.
Poppy’s subplot is kind of cool but, there’s no reason for it to exist because it only takes away screen time that could have been given to Maxine. Maxine La Mal doesn’t do anything in this movie!!!
How I personally rank the movies 1.) Despicable Me 2 2.) Despicable Me 3.) Minions The Rise Of Gru 4.) Despicable Me 3 5.) The Minions 6.) Despicable Me 4
I really feel like they underused way too much especially with the girls who were a key factor in the first film like margo didn't even get a scene like the karate scene with the other 2 like she could've had a scene in the school with poppy where poppy let on that she knew something. the mega minions who were the centre of marketing yet having them do absolutely nothing until the end of the climax where they show up after the villain is defeated made them completely redundant it would've been nice to see them show up in some big fight against the villain and his cockroaches. gru jr was there purely for comedic relief like remove him and nothing changes gru still has a reason to chase the villain after he is kidnapped because of his job as an AVL member. as for the villain it felt kinda sudden with the whole school bit of gru's history just being dropped. i just hope this is fixed with a minions 3 (bc we all know they're gonna do it) set in the school where the minions just make gru's school life hell for him. in total i feel they just completely flopped with their usage of key characters in the story. my favourite bit was probably all the endings purely because of all the callbacks to previous films in the prison such as scarlet overkill and the vicious 6
Heyo Beanii!! I honestly adore your videos, they are so fun and well-edited. I'm curious tho, Why do you hate the Good Dinosaur so much? I know It's an old movie but im so INVESTED in your opinion about it!!
This franchise is nothing but a cashgrab now. Despicable Me 4 is so painfully unnecessary, but illumination doesn't give a damn. Hell, now we got Minions 3 coming out
honestly I wasn’t too surprised that this movie wasn’t going to be great or whatnot. like the mega minions was what made me interested in this movie like the mega minions I think were pretty cool and unique, but they were nonexistent in the film which was severely disappointing honestly I think the concept of the movie is kinda cool but the movie is just so all over the place, it’s just so hard to focus on the characters and barely even using interesting concepts more i mean I like this movie more than DM3, but by only slightly
If dru was in the forth movie imagine the conversations he would have with Maxime and dru freaking out whenever maxime was a cockaroach and three minions on dru’s side
"Despicable Me" is about family? So the "Despicable Me" franchise is actually a spin-off of "The Fast & The Furious" franchise?? 🤯 But that would explain Gru's haircut. 😉
The downgrade in quality with the villains between the third and fourth movies is *INSANE.* Bratt was EASILY the best part of the entirety of Despicable Me 3, mainly thanks to Trey Parker's voice acting, while Maxime is pretty much the worst part of Despicable Me 4 in my honest opinion due to how unfunny he was and how *generic* his goal was.
I would say it's probably better than Rise of Gru or most the minions movies, but still fell short. It had good parts but not a lot else. Tons of focus wasted on small side quest time moments with very little going towards a main story of any kind. I felt the best moments were Grue and new girl, but it led no where and was odd he spent so much time bonding with the girl next door. While mostly ignoring his actual family and their struggles. Margo's struggles at school basically went no where, Edith and such conflict with not lying and the Karate dojo didn't go anywhere either. This movie is mostly tons of set up with no real pay off, and then it ends with a quick happily ever after scene.

At some point in his life after this, Max graduates from middle school and enters the same evil high school as Gru.
The two became fast friends, relating with their love of odd things such as inventions, ice, insects and jelly.
Gru was loyal to Maxime and even helped him score a girlfriend, who remained his only female companion due to normal people thinking him too creepy and villains thinking him too flamboyant.
Finally, Gru and Maxime signed up for a evil invention project, and both hoped this could be their big break.
Max and Gru worked together to create the freeze ray 2.0, a stronger and much more reliable version of the freeze ray that could freeze for longer, hold more fuel, and even freeze things as large as an elephant with some effort.
The plan was simple, they would go on stage together and present the evil invention together! Gru and Maxime would share in the notoriety.
Except that didn't happen, as Gru had lied to Max the whole time about the nature of the project, only one person could announce the invention.
So, when the day came, Maxime holding the notes for the presentation and Gru holding the freeze ray.
Gru was called.
But not max.
Max laughed it off, this was just a misunderstanding... right?
But Gru still went up and presented it anyways, winning him clapping and cheers.
Max cried "Did I not assist you?!"
Gru froze, but lied to the audience "what?! No! I did this on my own!"
Max was crushed.
Even more crushed when he saw the golden medal of deviousness given to Gru.
Maxime's obsession with bugs only grew now. He was as insignificant to his only friend as a quiet housefly.
He sat there with tears in his eyes, and his Girlfriend was the only one to comfort him.
Maxime moved on with life after that, resuming being a b tier villain without much relevance.
He wanted to be a father, but for medical reasons, it just seemed like he couldn't make one.
And forget about adopting when you are a supervillain.
Unless you have a bunch of goofy minions forging your documents, but Maxime did not.
So, seeing Gru again at the reunion, he had hoped Gru wanted to pick up their old friendship.
But he was wrong.
Gru tried to arrest him, but Maxime fought back by turning into a cockroach and flying away.
Maxime wanted revenge now, and you know how super-villains feel about revenge.
He looked in on Gru's life, and saw him play with his daughters, interact with his minions, be respected by his colleagues at AVL, all things he just didn't have.
And most of all, He had a son.
*Maxime began to feel.... jealous.*
So, Are you ready for Inside Out 2?
I promise it's way better than this.
Also, This was Disney's comeback, Did you notice?
Pixar's comeback, not Disney's
@@HydragonofDeath Oh, I see, Didn't saw that coming.
Ngl, despicable me 4 should've just been a short only about the heist
Yeah.. but on the other hand..
I KNOW YOU HEARD THE RUMOURS
YOU MUST GET OVER TO IT RIGHT AWAY
🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
This movie was so underwhelming, the only part i really enjoyed was at the end when he sang everybody wants to rule the world and danced with characters from the previous minions and despicable me films. In the advertisment they really emphasized on gru going 'undercover' and hiding his identity but i felt like they could've played more into it. I really felt like i wasted my money going to the cinema for this, i could've happily waited a year or two till it was streaming on Netflix or something... Also i would've loved to see the girls grow up a bit, that would've been interesting.
Despicable me has the hotel Transylvania problem, where there is way too much stuff happening so that nothing has any weight or consequences
At least Pharrell Williams did a fantastic job singing Double Life. We really don’t deserve his musical talent.
Following my previous comment about how much I hated Maxime as a villain, it's even worse considering the scales the previous villains were going for and how much Maxime becomes tame in comparison to them.
Vector stole a national landmark without anyone knowing it was him (aside from Gru and Vector's dad), El Macho wanted to unleash his Purple Minions on the world (and if anyone tried to stop them, their cities would get eaten by the Purple Minions), Bratt wanted to send an entire city into space where they would possibly DIE due to lack of oxygen, Scarlet wanted to conquer an entire country and was going to kill ALL the Minions just out of hatred for Bob temporarily becoming king, Belle Bottom wanted to destroy the entire AVL along with everyone who works there and wreak havoc alongside all the other Vicious 6 members...while Maxime *just wanted to steal a BABY.*
To be fair
stealing a baby is a pretty big crime but it definetly pales in comparison to kidnapping three girls + stealing the pyramid, caused mass destruction and committing genocide. (vector, el macho and bratt).
To me, "Despicable Me" fell off the cliff since the third movie. A shame this isn't great either.
This Movie Is A Disappointment
But!
It's Better Than MegaMind 2
It’s not hard to be better than megamind 2 lol
Bar is in hell
23:37 - Oh hey, Dru is there
If a teenager went up to gru and blackmailed him in the 1st movie i can assure you gru wouldn’t let that one slide either.
Why does the mega minions logo’s look like Mario’s hat logo 💀
The best part of this whole movie's existence is everyone's first impression of the baby being "Oh, Gru smashed."
I'm ashamed to say that this movie came out on my birthday
My deepest condolences.
At least it isn't "Terminator: Dark Fate."
Or Megamind 2.
In my personal opinion from a story perspective, I think "Despicable Me" and "Megamind" as movie concepts would've worked better if their stories following after their first movies were switched......
Gru should've found out about multiple bad guys from his past trying to get together with him to do crime again and take over the world together instead of his brother Dru in the third movie, that way there wouldn't have been no need for a 4th at all!
Megamind and Roxanne should've had a kid together at the end of the second movie while he's busy working for the forces of good and taking down another villain, then the third movie of Megamind would be about him and Roxanne's son or daughter needing to grow as a character.
13:25
The "do you think the minions were watching?" Made me laugh
Wait Warner bros made furiosa not universal
I mean, illumination is bad because the audience clearly supports it.
They aren't the problem, *we* are.
Are you gonna review Inside Out 2 next
No
Maybe when it's available on DVD seeing his usual review style.
7:35 idk why but this shot of Maxine feels like it would be a Fortnite loading screen. It just gives off that vibe.
Poppy’s subplot is kind of cool but, there’s no reason for it to exist because it only takes away screen time that could have been given to Maxine. Maxine La Mal doesn’t do anything in this movie!!!
That sponsor was genius lmao 😭
"your dætah"
How I personally rank the movies
1.) Despicable Me 2
2.) Despicable Me
3.) Minions The Rise Of Gru
4.) Despicable Me 3
5.) The Minions
6.) Despicable Me 4
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought the ending was pretty amazing.
I really feel like they underused way too much especially with the girls who were a key factor in the first film like margo didn't even get a scene like the karate scene with the other 2 like she could've had a scene in the school with poppy where poppy let on that she knew something. the mega minions who were the centre of marketing yet having them do absolutely nothing until the end of the climax where they show up after the villain is defeated made them completely redundant it would've been nice to see them show up in some big fight against the villain and his cockroaches. gru jr was there purely for comedic relief like remove him and nothing changes gru still has a reason to chase the villain after he is kidnapped because of his job as an AVL member. as for the villain it felt kinda sudden with the whole school bit of gru's history just being dropped. i just hope this is fixed with a minions 3 (bc we all know they're gonna do it) set in the school where the minions just make gru's school life hell for him. in total i feel they just completely flopped with their usage of key characters in the story.
my favourite bit was probably all the endings purely because of all the callbacks to previous films in the prison such as scarlet overkill and the vicious 6
Hol up, they should make megamind the villain for the next movie. Do a crossover. Get the megamind 2 we all deserve
Heyo Beanii!! I honestly adore your videos, they are so fun and well-edited. I'm curious tho, Why do you hate the Good Dinosaur so much? I know It's an old movie but im so INVESTED in your opinion about it!!
Best things about the movie: Poppy and the endsong
Worst things: The rest
Illumination works better with fewer characters (like in Super Mario or Migration). That means less subplots, better pacing and less pointlessness.
14:33 ✨️The Gorls✨️
This franchise is nothing but a cashgrab now. Despicable Me 4 is so painfully unnecessary, but illumination doesn't give a damn. Hell, now we got Minions 3 coming out
“Somehow”
It’s Illumination, most of the time they disappoint…
14:17 easly bother anythe gorls...
To be fair in the case of the opening skit, the Mad Max films, aside from Road Warrior, never did well at the US Box Office.
honestly
I wasn’t too surprised that this movie wasn’t going to be great or whatnot. like the mega minions was what made me interested in this movie
like the mega minions I think were pretty cool and unique, but they were nonexistent in the film which was severely disappointing honestly
I think the concept of the movie is kinda cool but the movie is just so all over the place, it’s just so hard to focus on the characters and barely even using interesting concepts more
i mean I like this movie more than DM3, but by only slightly
Why does half of this movie feel like some crappy slice-of-life spin-off series?
If dru was in the forth movie imagine the conversations he would have with Maxime and dru freaking out whenever maxime was a cockaroach and three minions on dru’s side
"Despicable Me" is about family? So the "Despicable Me" franchise is actually a spin-off of "The Fast & The Furious" franchise?? 🤯 But that would explain Gru's haircut. 😉
But hey that’s just a theory a FILM THEORY
The only thing everyone agrees to is that the song "Double Life" is the Best
Love ur videos! Keep it up!
Thanks! 🩵
I rarely get physically sick by seeing something… but when I saw the cockroach man my stomach turned, AND I WAS EATING. 😢
Bro... after 3 or 4 decent movies, illumination just had to break the streak with this movie. But who knows, may be the next one can be a banger??
They should've just recreated that Roblox game Despicable Forces in movie form that would've been freaking awesome
I love how we built up a plot for Gru to have a twin brother just to not show/meantion him
I think the best way to explain this movie is a bunch of illumination shorts smashed togeder
The downgrade in quality with the villains between the third and fourth movies is *INSANE.*
Bratt was EASILY the best part of the entirety of Despicable Me 3, mainly thanks to Trey Parker's voice acting, while Maxime is pretty much the worst part of Despicable Me 4 in my honest opinion due to how unfunny he was and how *generic* his goal was.
Didnt the minions stay with dru?
Yeah they did :0 I just realized that
Found youyr channel and have been binging some of your movie reviews
Despicable me was so good before this release… the music does slap tho, Pharrell worked his magic
The first despicable me was good, the second was alright, then they overdid it
I would say it's probably better than Rise of Gru or most the minions movies, but still fell short. It had good parts but not a lot else. Tons of focus wasted on small side quest time moments with very little going towards a main story of any kind. I felt the best moments were Grue and new girl, but it led no where and was odd he spent so much time bonding with the girl next door. While mostly ignoring his actual family and their struggles.
Margo's struggles at school basically went no where, Edith and such conflict with not lying and the Karate dojo didn't go anywhere either. This movie is mostly tons of set up with no real pay off, and then it ends with a quick happily ever after scene.
I mean, the movie was OK, it wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst. (In my opinion)
The movie that should have been a TV show
You should be hired in illumination
