The Bad Guys

Director: Pierre Perifel
Year Released: 2022
Rating: 1.0

In order to tick off new Governor Diane Foxington (voiced by Zazie Beetz), non-human thieves The Bad Guys - led by mastermind Wolf (Sam Rockwell) - draw up a plan to steal the Golden Dolphin from the Museum of Fine Arts, but when they get caught "humanitarian" Professor Marmalade (Richard Ayoade) intervenes and offers to "clean them up."  Once again, it's your trademark Dreamworks animated production where the critters all look like they have some serious motor disorder with their rapidly-changing and exaggerated facial expressions, and the "premise" is derivative: hey, let's make a G-Rated Guy Ritchie movie for the under thirteen crowd.  The best "bit" (if you can even call it that) is how everyone seems to fall for the Shark's "disguises" (which are all terrible), but that's about as far it gets from a creative standpoint.
