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.

Critics Consensus

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.

San Francisco Chronicle

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.

Yes, it gets complicated, as these things do. But never so tangled that you lose the thread.

Bleeding Cool

The Bad Guys 2 isn't as good as the first film, but it's still a pretty good time at the movies. It's an animated family film that makes an effort to truly appeal to multiple demographics.

Rated: 7.50/10

That Shelf

By no means a deep work, The Bad Guys 2 is a solid sequel that delivers more of the same humour and action that made its predecessor a hit.

A pretty middle-of-the-road kids' movie that does exactly what it needs to, no more, no less.

It was just as clever and funny as the first one. The kiddos noted the music was "more adult" than last time but she loved how they shared so many Easter eggs and tied in the book during the closing credits

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Not your typical heist comedy movie. Its a funny madcap adventure that turned out to be more about friendship and trying to reform your reputation more than I expected. There are a lots of unique twists along the way, probably too many to keep track of, and because of that it probably would be even better the 2nd time you watch it.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
