THE BAD GUYS
prison, Mr Wolf is forced to face reality and that, just maybe, they’ve taken the wrong path. After a revelation, he brokers a deal with cute, cuddly, but conniving guinea pig Professor Marmalade to gain parole for himself and his outlaw friends. In return, they must pull off the biggest con of their careers and trick the world into thinking they’ve turned good. Yet, playing pretend, the crew begin to realise that being good could offer a better life. When a new villain threatens the city, The Bad Guys pull together and use all of the tricks of their trade to thwart them in a dazzling action-comedy with enough huff and puff to blow the whole family away.
