    GOOD ACTION.
    Good action and great message of how good it feels to do the right thing. This movie is for kids but will keep adults guessing. Lots of twists and turns. An awesome movie for kids that isn't pushing an agenda.

    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 (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?

    2022's most underrated film.
    I've very nearly missed this because it just didn't really hit any radar's.

    It has an amazing story line that is just go, go, go.... with twists and turns and whilst some may be a little cliche'd that's part of the charm in this film.

    The artwork is great. I loved that it reflected the dry LA sort of back ground.. yet it was bright and colourful without being childish or outlandish.

    The voice actors - felt like each part was written for them. They all came through as individual as their characters were. No reusing voices for different characters.

    Overall this is one of those kids films that adults will love. It has all the fun of a heist without the stupid adults getting in the way, yet none of the childish by play of a children's film

    Don't miss out on this one for a group of kids, teens or adults who want a good laugh.
