In April, United International Pictures hosted us at the premiere of the DreamWorks movie Bad Guys.
Based on the books, this animated heist kept us riveted to the edge of our chairs as we laughed our way through the unique plot twists of this bad guy story.
I loved the message that anyone can change and the value of giving second chances.
The characters are relatable, Fun, and deliver 100% entertainment.
A great family night movie
About the movie
Notorious crime squad THE BAD GUYS have avoided capture for years, becoming the world’s most wanted villains in the process. When they’re finally caught, Mr. Wolf (voiced by Sam Rockwell) brokers a deal: the Bad Guys will go good in exchange for their freedom. But the crew will have to convince everyone (and themselves) that they really are “good guys,” just as a new villain comes to town.7
