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.

Zaki Hasan 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 Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times 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. Jul 31, 2025 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post Yes, it gets complicated, as these things do. But never so tangled that you lose the thread. Rated: 3/4 Jul 31, 2025 Full Review Cain Noble-Davies FILMINK (Australia) … focuses more on style over substance, the action is beautifully rendered, the characters are funnier than ever, and the way it balances mirth with legitimate kid-friendly thrills is impressive. Rated: 16/20 Sep 7, 2025 Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies it’s a slick film that should appeal to the whole family, even if it is a bit overblown Rated: 3/5 Sep 4, 2025 Full Review John Serba Decider I laughed a lot at Bad Guys 2, and I wager you will too.

Cuz man Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/25 Full Review GaKnew The crass adult jokes in kids movies are beyond unnecessary and getting really tired. This production companies need to do better. Im getting to a point of no longer taking the kids to the movies Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/25 Full Review Brandi It was entertaining but the first one was more funny. I felt less engaged than I did with the first one. Its more of a, wait to come to peacock kinda of movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review Yasmin It’s a really good movie!
