Y'all need to learn how to have fun again. It's Jim Henson puppets being lewd. It's a fantasy. Everybody loves puppets.filmclub

Despite having a few funny bits, (I'll never look at cow milking the same), this movie is pretty much a depressing failure across the board. Honestly, it's sort of a disgrace that the Henson name is even associated. As noir spoof and buddy cop film, it's pedestrian, clearly hoping to thrive on the concept alone. As risqué comedy, it's juvenile and crass, thinking that throwing more banal filth at the screen will make it funnier. There's an art to making that sort of humor work, and these guys didn't have a clue.moviefan28
Melissa McCarthy being out acted by puppetsmanwithpetgull
A complete disaster. These are "dirty" jokes told by people who simply don't have the right sensibilities for them. There's no bite, and no sincerity. In every way that Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles succeeded by embracing its tastelessness, Happytime never shows any real balls. The average Family Guy episode is edgier, and more creative. The movie consistently seems to believe that simply having one character say"fuck you!" to the other counts as a joke. The "does this smell like chloroform to you?" gag that that annoying guy in your office loves doing gets trotted out twice. They have the audacity to use the classic old middle school burn "asshole says what?" as a fucking running gag. Melissa McCarthy's trademark technique of rambling pointlessly throughout the entirety of every scene she's in works exactly as well here as it did in Ghostbusters. It's the movie equivalent of that image of Steve Buscemi going "how do you do, fellow kids?" from 30 Rock; trying to be hip, and failing at it to the point of absurdity.
