The Happytime Murders - The scoop and digest

Summary

In a world where humans and puppets co-exist, members of discontinued TV series The Happytime Gang are getting bumped off one by one.

Ex-cop turned private investigator Phil Philips (Bill Barretta) and former partner Detective Connie Edwards (Melissa McCarthy) are forced to put their differences aside and prevent further fluffshed.

Bilge

Can you hear that?

It's the sound of Jim Henson turning in his grave.

Son of Muppets legend Brian fails to exploit an interesting premise and result is nothing more than a vulgar, charmless shit storm.

For not delivering a single chuckle, Todd Berger's crass screenplay can 'fuck off', or go 'fuck itself'.

McCarthy goes through the usual motions and Elizabeth Banks is wasted as a sexy burlesque dancer.

Phil inevitably screws his client Sandra White (the killer), with sequence cumming to a desperate climax.

Octopus bizarrely milking a cow inside a sex shop sums despicable mess up.

As bad, if not worse than The Festival, I cast supreme calamity down to the bowels of cinematic hell.
