The Bad Guys
Just finished watching "The Bad Guys" released by Dreamworks.
Now I haven't read any of the books in the series that "The Bad Guys" is based on. The set up premise is a relatively simple one - the world's most wanted criminals, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark, and Ms. Tarantula are caught when attempting a coup-de-grace of their combined careers - stealing the Golden Duck award for good deeds - and con their way into a second chance by proving that they can actually be good guys if given the opportunity. There is definitely an "Ocean's 11/Fast & Furious" vibe throughout the movie and Mr. Wolf does break the fourth wall on occasion.
"The Bad Guys" is a pleasant diversion that doesn't break any new ground and it does recycle standard troupes.
Recommended.
Three and a half stars.
