The Bad Guys 2

Friday, August 1 until Thursday, August 21, 2025Yukon Theatre

Everyone’s favourite felons are back, and this time, they’ve got company. 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.

In the new action-packed chapter from DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed comedy smash about a crackerjack crew of animal outlaws, our now-reformed Bad Guys are trying (very, very hard) to be good, but instead find themselves hijacked into a high-stakes, globe-trotting heist, masterminded by a new team of criminals they never saw coming: The Bad Girls.

Based on the New York Times best-selling book series by Aaron Blabey, which has soared from 8 million to over 30 million copies sold since the first film’s release in 2022, The Bad Guys 2 stars the stellar original cast, led by Academy Award winner Sam Rockwell as Mr. Wolf, SAG award nominee Marc Maron as safe-cracker Mr. Snake, SAG award nominee Craig Robinson as master-of disguise Mr. Shark, Grammy winner Anthony Ramos as Mr. Piranha and Emmy winner Awkwafina as hacker Ms. Tarantula, aka “Webs.”

Recommended for ages 8+

The script is just jammed with flat one-liners and too many fart gags to count. Whenever Rockwell’s purr comes on, which is often given Mr. Wolf’s central role, the whole affair sings. Barry Hertz, The Globe and Mail
