See I surprisingly liked The Happytime Murders. I really enjoyed the detective in it. So I saw this when browsing and pressed play. Hated it. Couldn’t find anything in it to laugh at, or enjoy.
Unsurprisingly better than Happytime Murders. Still suffers from that typical formula of making something usually for children for adults by just making the puppets say fuck and do drugs or other “wacky” stuff that a fourteen year old would consider “edgy.” I will say though, I can forgive this movie because it came out first and was done on a lower budget. Happytime Murders was done by the Jim Henson company and they fucked it up even worse. Oh well, this was at least kinda funny so whatever.
i would do anything for that little puppet with that enormous gun
I'm a sucker for anything involving puppets, so this didn't take much to win me over. It's humor & social commentary on discrimination are obvious, but that's part of the charm. I marked hard for Gene Snitsky as a henchman near the end!
This was on at a bar for whatever reason and I was locked in
sometimes you just gotta turn your brain off and laugh at dumb shit
Happytime Murders but actually good
What if puppets swore? 0_o
hmmm. the "adult" puppet media market is small but i wish there was more variety. it's a lot of the same. puppets swearing, doing drugs, drinking, having sex, and perpetrating violence are the common tropes in movies like these, which is fine, but when the movie relies on that shock value and that's it, it gets boring. see, i love puppets, i just wish there was more creativity in movies like this one.
That Herbie fella looks a lot like my pal Adam
So it turns out the The Happytime Murders was just a complete ripoff of this. That being said, this one is slightly better, but neither is worth your time. Maybe puppets and mature content just don't mix. Sure, it's a funny idea, but it just doesn't translate that well. I laughed a few times watching this, but for the most part it's just humor that doesn't land.
By far the best puppet version of Donnie Brasco and Scarface I’ve ever seen.
