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.

The Bad Guys 2's crew of reformed rapscallions are still a ton of fun as their latest adventure raises the stakes while maintaining a playful sense of mischief.

Audience Says

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

Observer (UK)

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.

Rated: 3/4

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 2 is a heist flick for the entire family, one that proves that the Bad Guys are actually pretty good.

Everything is played bigger, brighter and more odiferous this time and those elements will entertain youngsters and engage adults.
