Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Awkwafina, and Anthony Ramos in Les Bad Guys (2022)

Never have there been five friends as infamous as The Bad Guys -dashing pickpocket Mr. Wolf, seen-it-all safecracker Mr. Snake chill master-of-disguise Mr. Shark, short-fused "muscle" Mr. Piranha and sharp-tongued expert hacker Ms. Tarantula, aka "Webs."

But when, after years of countless heists and being the world's most-wanted villains, the gang is finally caught, Mr. Wolf brokers a deal (that he has no intention of keeping) to save them all from prison: The Bad Guys will go good.

Under the tutelage of their mentor Professor Marmalade, an arrogant (but adorable!) guinea pig, The Bad Guys set out to fool the world that they've been transformed. Along the way, though, Mr. Wolf begins to suspect that doing good for real may give him what he's always secretly longed for: acceptance. So when a new villain threatens the city, can Mr. Wolf persuade the rest of the gang to become... The Good Guys?

Trivia
When Wolf proposes the gang to pretend to be good, Mr. Shark tells the story about a brother who had an anchor falling on his head. This refers to the previous DreamWorks Animation film Gang de requins (2004), which had two shark brothers: Frankie who died from an anchor dropping on him, and his brother Lenny, a good guy, who briefly pretends to be bad.

Goofs
When Wolf - in his bunny costume - climbs up the tree to rescue the cat, the bunny tail is visible. After he climbed down with the cat in his arm, his wolf tail suddenly pokes out of the costume and the bunny tail is gone.

However, this could signify that he "wiggled" and his tail went loose, just like when he is in disguise as Mr Poodleton.

Quotes
Mr. Wolf: Do I wish people didn't see us as monsters? Sure, I do. But these are the cards we've been dealt, so we might as well play 'em.

Crazy credits
The DreamWorks logo has Mr Wolf climb to the moon with his grapple gun and take the fisher boy's place.

The Bad Guys is good!

Of course the animation is a massive highlight, and I also enjoyed the story, characters, and some of the plot twists. It's a tad predictable and not incredibly funny but hey! I had a really good time.
