Wendy Ide 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. Oct 7, 2025 Full Review 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 Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome The Bad Guys 2 is a heist flick for the entire family, one that proves that the Bad Guys are actually pretty good. Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Rick Bentley KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Everything is played bigger, brighter and more odiferous this time and those elements will entertain youngsters and engage adults. Rated: B Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Pleasant if not particularly distinguished. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
