The Bad Guys is a fun little movie. It's just clever enough for adults to stay interested, but you can tell its main goal was to appeal to kids. The voice acting was damn solid for what seems like an afterthought film (Rockwell and Beetz especially, and imagining Marc Maron doing his lines in a booth somewhere was entertaining). Lots of little nods to other heist/crime films, including the longest singular animated take in a Dreamworks movie, referencing Pulp Fiction.

The big draw was the animation style, which was entirely captivating. You could tell it borrowed from Into the Spider-Verse and tried to innovate in its own way. Happy to see more movies are trying to experiment with their animation ala Spider-Man and The Mitchells Vs. The Machines.

You'll likely be intrigued and chuckle a bit, but your kids will probably love The Bad Guys. Available on Crave at the moment.
