The Bad Guys is Fun for Everyone

The Bad Guys is a very good movie with high quality graphics and very funny jokes. It also has, one key element of surprise. Overall, it is a very good movie and recommended for all ages. — JimmityCritic, age 10

We had fun watching The Bad Guys. It makes us want to go back and read the illustrated children’s graphic novel series by Australian author Aaron Blabey. They are fourteen with a fifteen book being release in Summer of 2022.

Synopsis: In the new action comedy from DreamWorks Animation, based on the New York Times best-selling book series, a crackerjack criminal crew of animal outlaws are about to attempt their most challenging con yet—becoming model citizens. 

Never have there been five friends as infamous as The Bad Guys—dashing pickpocket Mr. Wolf (Sam Rockwell), seen-it-all safecracker Mr. Snake (Marc Maron), chill master-of-disguise Mr. Shark (Craig Robinson), short-fused “muscle” Mr. Piranha (Anthony Ramos) and sharp-tongued expert hacker Ms. Tarantula (Awkwafina), aka “Webs.” 

But when, after years of countless heists and being the world’s most-wanted villains, the gang is finally caught, Mr. Wolf brokers a deal (that he has no intention of keeping) to save them all from prison: The Bad Guys will go good. 

Under the tutelage of their mentor Professor Marmalade (Richard Ayoade), an arrogant (but adorable!) guinea pig, The Bad Guys set out to fool the world that they’ve been transformed. Along the way, though, Mr. Wolf begins to suspect that doing good for real may give him what he’s always secretly longed for: acceptance. So when a new villain threatens the city, can Mr. Wolf persuade the rest of the gang to become…The Good Guys? 

Nobody has ever failed so hard at trying to be good as The Bad Guys! The film is in theaters now! — A.O.
