April Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss17 of 25
The Bad Guys | In Theaters on Friday, April 22
Plot: After a lifetime of legendary heists, notorious criminals Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark and Ms. Tarantula are finally caught. To avoid a prison sentence, the animal outlaws must pull off their most challenging con yet — becoming model citizens. Under the tutelage of their mentor, Professor Marmalade, the dubious gang sets out to fool the world that they're turning good.
Our Take: Sometimes a cartoon just has to be a cartoon; one with lots of jokes, a host of anthropomorphic animals, and NO musical numbers ("We Don't Talk About Bruno" is still on repeat in my head and in my home). Based on the wildly popular graphic novels, Dreamworks' The Bad Guys is ready to be that cartoon. Sam Rockwell, Awkwafina, Marc Maron, Zazie Beetz, and lead the stacked cast of voice talent in director Pierre Perifel's feature debut. — James
