Based on some reviews I wasn't sure what to expect, but Happytime Murders was actually much better than I thought it would be! The humor was on point and Melissa McCarthy was fantastic! You would never know she was working with a puppet partner if it weren't for him being, well, a puppet!
I would love to see more of these films be produced as they have a certain nostalgia attached to them. The puppets grew up with us. We don't make the same jokes we did when we were kids. Neither should they! For adults this is a great film that let's you feel that mischeviois inner humor, kind of like when you heard dirty jokes as a teenager. I loved pretty much every moment of this and the creativity behind it. The cast and crew did an amazing job with camera angles and dialogue, as well as managed to impart an absolutely hysterical story line. Not to mention, it was produced by Brian Henson, the son of Jim Henson!!
I personally found Happytime Murders to be a highlight in comedy that has been missing for some time. It broke the mold of the same old as we've seen recently in many lackluster comedies. The creativity and the cast and crew made this film a standout in the comedy genre and truly provided one of the most unique and hysterical comedies I've seen in a very long time!

I honestly don't think I've ever loved a Melissa McCarthy led comedy, but I did dare to dream when it came to an R-rated Muppets movie. But when _The Happytime Murders_ came to tread on my dreams, it did not tread softly.

_Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._

Puppet stories. Why do they have to be over the top? But I get it, it's not the puppets, it's the humans.

Pretty much standard plots, standard characters combined; but that's kind of the point. The same thing, but more gross - and more honest.
About "more funny", it wasn't my taste. But hey, different tastes. Some will have laugh themselves silly.

I haven't heard of Melissa McCarthy before;
but it appears this kind of humour is right up her, err, alley; and if you share it, then up yours, too.


(yes, that type of humour.)
