Show more >> The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday is a fun ride, though it doesn't quite reach the heights of some animated classics. The premise is amusing—Mr. Wolf and his crew trying to save Christmas—but at times, the story feels a bit rushed. The animation is bright and lively, which keeps the energy up, and the characters are charming enough to keep the kids entertained. However, some of the humour may not land for older viewers, and the plot twists are somewhat predictable. That said, there are plenty of laughs and sweet moments, especially when the gang learns the value of the holiday spirit. It’s a solid family film, but don’t expect anything groundbreaking. Perfect for a light-hearted family night in. Show less
