It’s cringe worthy and you’ll wonder what it says about you if you laugh. That’s great comedy right there. Read more

The filmmakers have fashioned a big gross world for the movie’s murderous, dubious and promiscuous characters to run amok in. Read more

Had some fantastic potential and boasts a really entertaining concept but the execution of this just doesn’t measure up. Read more

The film is raunchy. It amounts to 90 minutes of profane, DNA-spewing nastiness with very little story to redeem it. I’m pretty sure that’s the point. Read more

Funnier than it had any right to be, and at times a really smart send-up of the film noir genre. screen-shot-2018-05-18-at-10-00-31-am.pn... Read more

Crafting an original story is hardly necessary, since the focus is on perverting typical children’s characters with penis jokes and puppet prison rape japes. Read more

Even its horribly lovable puppet characters can’t save it from unfunny jokes, a messy, unresolved story, and, of course, Melissa McCarthy herself. Read more

At best, the film adds a new dimension to the tired cop genre, but fails to be much more than “Detective Film… with Puppets!”... Read more

A tedious premise that fails primarily because it encroaches too far into repugnance to be able to keep its audience in the mood for laughter. Read more

Definitely NOT recommended. If someone asks you to go to the cinema with them to see this, tell them to get stuffed! Read more

Mines all its comedy from R-rated puppet antics and Melissa McCarthy's typical schtick, but the jokes quickly wear thin. Read more

Simply unfunny, The Happytime Murders has so little substance that it is hard to even discuss it. Read more

2.0

2018-08-26

As an R-rated, bawdy comedy, its vision is cripplingly limited, gambling so heavily on the intrinsic hilarity of puppets that the whole thing feels dramatically undercooked. Read more

Hou je van dit soort humor dan is het echt een leuk film. Maar zoals je kan lezen is de film in mijn ogen te vaak puberaal waardoor ik persoonlijk hem minder leuk vond op verschillende moment. Read more

De humor is vaak te makkelijk om echt grappig te zijn, waardoor The Happytime Murders vooral puberaal overkomt. Read more

Het advies is dan ook om de film een eerlijke kans te geven, maar een gewaarschuwd mens telt voor 2. Temper de verwachtingen en het kan weleens een leuke filmavond worden.

Verre van een nieuwe Sausage Party. Een ontgoocheling is het minste wat we het kunnen noemen. Read more

Een zeer flauwe film, waarbij de legendarische Jim Henson zich zal omdraaien in zijn graf als hij kon zien wat zoonlief met zijn zo geliefde Muppets heeft uitgespookt. Read more
