I received a copy of the movie to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.
I’ve mentioned before how excited our whole family was for the movie based on The Bad Guys book series. My 8 year old read the entire series after watching the first trailer and was so ready for the movie- and we were SO nervous to see if it would be as good as we wanted it to be!
Luckily, as you can tell from our The Bad Guys movie review, it was a major hit with not only our family but in general. And now whether you have already seen it or not you can watch it any time you want since it’s out on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital!
About the movie:
Nobody has ever failed so hard at trying to be good as The Bad Guys.
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 (Academy Award® winner Sam Rockwell, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), seen-it-all safecracker Mr. Snake (Marc Maron, GLOW), chill master-of-disguise Mr. Shark (Craig Robinson, Hot Tub Time Machine franchise), short-fused “muscle” Mr. Piranha (Anthony Ramos, In the Heights) and sharp-tongued expert hacker Ms. Tarantula (Awkwafina, Crazy Rich Asians), 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, Paddington 2), 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?
This movie is excellent for the entire family. I had read many of the books with my son {before he decided that he couldn’t wait for bedtime reading anymore and started spending hours reading them all day!} so I had some backstory. My husband however had no idea what was going on going into the movie and he liked it just as much as I did. He said it was by far the best family movie we had seen in a very, very long time and we are just crossing our fingers that there are many sequels in our future!
