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

The movie was hilarious. It's mindless fun. It was money well spent. I'd see it again if I had the time. I'm definitely getting the digital HD release.

#NoJudgement All kids mature differently, with that being said I took my 10yr old to see it and we laughed like hell- it was actually his choice for what he wanted to do for his birthday.

So...um...that happened. It's a great concept but poorly, poorly executed. The script relies on vulgar dialogue and sex jokes. Some moments were truly funny but most of it was just...not. Not a family friendly flick AT ALL. The visual effects are cool, I mean how they filmed an entire movie with talking puppets as practical effects is cool, but don't watch it for the cool practical effects. If you're into that, go watch the Muppets. They're much cleaner. Some things I will never be able to unsee.

Not so bad for a muppets movie. Good job with the drama and special effects but just not there to watch on the movie theaters.

The movie was ok, had a few laughs but not as many as I thought it would given the cast of comedians. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I were drinking.

Pretty good movie definitely not for kids. Get a sitter, drop the kids with the gparents, or let your kids go to a sleepover. This film is not for them it's for you adults! Melissa McCarthy is a treasure and Maya Rudolph is fanastic!

My wife and I went to see this and we enjoyed it. We laughed many times throughout the movie. Not for kids but great for the kid at heart with a dirty mind.

Keep em coming Melissa! Entertaining in one way or the other from beginning to end. Either it was a genuinely lol moment or a "omg they must have had a blast making this" chuckle moment. Either way, I had many laughs during this film & I'll definitely rewatch every so often. Not quite the caliber hilarity as a Game Night or Tag, but pretty close!

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.
