The Happytime Murders

Tools    





"In a world where puppets and humans live side-by-side the puppet stars of the iconic TV show The Happytime Gang are some of the biggest celebrities around. But off camera, the family-friendly cast leads the kinds of lives that would make a tabloid writer blush. When the stars of "The Happytime Gang" are mysteriously murdered, two mismatched detectives - one a type-A, take-no-prisoners human with a secret, and the other a crass, hard-drinking puppet with a connection to one of the victims - must put aside their huge differences to stop the killings and catch the culprit, while resisting the temptation to murder each other."

I kind of want to see it from the previews, but it looks like Melissa McCarthy is miscast in it though. Since the character is suppose to be a detective, I think it would have been funnier if they had gotten someone more serious and hard boiled, like Liam Neeson or someone like that.

A lot of people have compared it to Meet The Feebles (1989), saying that Meet the Feebles is a much better movie. The puppets in they Happytime murders are better looking though.
