Get ready for more antics as “The Bad Guys 2” delivers a wonderfully breezy and entertaining sequel, proving that sometimes, a little distraction is all you need.
The Gang’s All Back
The beloved crew of reformed criminals is back, still trying to navigate the tricky waters of being “good.” Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark, and Ms. Tarantula — a group as smooth as their tailored suits — quickly remind us why they were so endearing in the first place.
It’s not easy for these former masterminds to adjust to a normal life. Their unique skill sets, while perfect for heists, don’t exactly translate into conventional job qualifications. This central dilemma sets the stage for a film that’s both funny and surprisingly relatable.
A Stellar Voice Cast
The film truly shines with its star-studded voice cast. Sam Rockwell is a standout as the charismatic Mr. Wolf, effortlessly leading the gang. Marc Maron brings a delightful charm to Mr. Snake, while Anthony Ramos (Mr. Piranha), Craig Robinson (Mr. Shark), and Awkwafina (Ms. Tarantula) all deliver fantastic performances.
Zazie Beetz returns as the cunning Diane, the city’s governor, and Alex Borstein adds her signature wit as the Commissioner. But the sequel truly elevates its game with new additions like Danielle Brooks as the formidable Kitty Kat, a truly bad snow leopard, and Natasha Lyonne as the tantalizing, shape-shifting Susan, also known as Doom.
Plot Twists and Turns
While the core of the story remains focused on its engaging characters, the plot takes an unexpected turn when it ventures into space. This high-flying twist, though a bit of a current Hollywood trend, occasionally complicates an otherwise pleasingly simple narrative.
However, despite the galactic detours, the film ensures the “paws and claws” of its good-bad (or bad-good) guys remain firmly planted in their grounded, relatable antics. Whether they’re sipping kombucha or indulging in lollipops, their charm keeps the story enjoyable from start to finish.
