Ted G 08/22/2021 A totally twisted but absolutely hilarious movie! See more Maria Q @MariaQe Aug 25 The Happytime Murders is what happens when the Muppets get fired from children’s television and immediately take a hard left into a filthy detective movie. It’s raunchy, ridiculous, gloriously inappropriate, and powered by the kind of jokes that make you wonder who approved the script, and then thank them for their service. Melissa McCarthy brings the chaos, the puppets bring the depravity, and the whole movie operates like a children’s show after several bad nights in Vegas. The Happytime Murders doesn’t pull any punches; it pulls strings, breaks laws, and leaves the crime scene covered in felt. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Aug 22 The Happytime Murders left me asking one question: what the heck did I just watch? The concept of putting puppets into the real world could have been incredibly creative, especially with a detective story at the center, but instead the movie relies heavily on vulgarity, awkward sexual humor, and shock value. The puppet sex scenes and ridiculous visual gags are definitely memorable, but not necessarily in a good way. The movie seems determined to be as inappropriate as possible, believing that being outrageous automatically makes something funny. Unfortunately, the humor rarely landed for me. Melissa McCarthy is also in the middle of the chaos, but even she struggles to elevate the material. There is so much back-and-forth throughout the story that the entire movie eventually feels disconnected from what could have been an entertaining mystery. The puppet concept itself is actually the most interesting part. But puppet sexual activity is ridiculous See more Drew F @Drewfrost20 Aug 12 Fun easy to love comedy. Absolute must watch for a Funtime. See more Ross C @calros20 Jul 21 I liked it. It wasn't some particularly deep character study, or have amazing unique complex plotlines, but it was great fun and had some interesting worldbuilding.
