Despicable Me 4

Despicable Me 4; Comedic voice cast given little to do besides playing 2nd fiddle to slapstick shenanigans of minions, who still land laughs. Story shows how the studio doesn’t know what to do w/Gru anymore, while side characters are an even greater afterthought. A solid, safe summer diversion; C+

Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb; Sad seeing the great comedians gone from this film. I'd rather watch Rebel & Ricky in part 4; C+
