Rated PG

This time, they are blackmailed into a job by a notorious criminal and have to find a way to pull things off but keep their new Good Guys reputation.

Overall, this is fun and entertaining. The excellent voice cast returns, and it’s not just low-brow body jokes. But those are in there to get the laughs from the kiddies.

The only crime committed in THE BAD GUYS 2 is going bigger for the sequel. I know film has a tarantula that’s a computer expert, and a piranha walking around on land. But at some point, the absurdity goes too far.

Where the Fast & Furious franchise took 20 years and 9 films, this movie does in 90 minutes. I’m no rocket scientist, but even I had trouble swallowing the third act.

Still, it’s a slick film that should appeal to the whole family, even if it is a bit overblown.

THE BAD GUYS 2 gets three wolf whistles out of five. I’m Kevin Carr, and that’s the way I see it.
