Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

In a seedy underworld where flesh meets felt, crime isn’t cute. It just looks that way. Melissa McCarthy stars as a disgraced LAPD officer-turned-private investigator, who’s working with her partner on a dangerous new case: a murderer that’s targeting the stars of a hit kid’s show from the 80s. Only the victims, and her partner, are all puppets. Can she put a stop to the violence before somebody else loses their stuffing? Death, drugs, and debauchery – this is the naughty R-rated puppet movie you didn’t know you needed in your life. Directed by noted puppet expert Brian Henson, the film also stars Elizabeth Banks, Joel McHale, and Maya Rudolf.

Amazing. Anyone upset that they can’t take their kids should’ve read the title and watched the trailer.

It’s the execution that lets this dog down. Not enough funny lines and even the cheap, dirty laughs are in short supply.

It’d be an intriguing premise — if, again, it weren’t so nearly identical to Roger Rabbit, right down to the inevitable frame job. Also, if The Happytime Murders had taken a few more cues from that film and focused less on the rote whodunit and more on the funhouse-mirror L.A. where it takes place.

Stuffed full of rampant badness, the scattershot comedy isn’t nearly as clever or subversive as it thinks it is.
