Everyone's favorite felons are back, and this time, they've got company. In the new action-packed chapter from DreamWorks Animation's acclaimed comedy smash about a crackerjack crew of animal outlaws, our now-reformed Bad Guys are trying (very, very hard) to be good, but instead find themselves hijacked into a high-stakes, globe-trotting heist, masterminded by a new team of criminals they never saw coming: The Bad Girls.

Audience Says

The Bad Guys 2 ramps up the action and the distraction, earning this sequel a delightfully ‘bad’ -- as in totally awesome -- reputation.

Think a child-friendly Ocean’s Eleven with the hyperactive pacing of a Looney Tunes cartoon and a generous serving of extreme silliness... Frenetic but fun.

While it doesn’t quite recapture the spark of surprise that made the first outing such a pleasant detour from franchise fatigue, it still delivers where it counts.

The Bad Guys 2 is no masterpiece — the filmmakers are more enamored with fart-in-a-spacesuit gags than even most kids are likely to be — but it is goofy fun.

The Bad Guys are back. I’d also be perfectly fine if they chose to go away.

The Bad Guys 2 thrives on its playful energy, sharp humor, and willingness to push its world into bigger, stranger territory without losing sight of its characters.

While this movie [The Bad Guys 2] never quite hits the emotional climaxes of the first film, it also opens the door for more exciting stories in the future. This is one of the good animated romps of the year

This one wasn’t very kid friendly like the first one. The first one was very family oriented but not this one. It had some inappropriate humor for my four year old. We loved bad guys 1 which made us excited for part two but I wish I wouldn’t have taken her to see it.
