The Happytime Murders (Carnage chez les Puppets)
Detective Phil Philips is a down-on-his-luck puppet who used to work for the Los Angeles Police Department. When two puppets from an old TV show wind up dead, Phil suspects something is afoot and rejoins the LAPD as a consultant. Reunited with Connie Edwards, his former human partner, the bickering duo soon find themselves in a race against time to protect other former cast members before the killer strikes again.

Ugly, mean-spirited, and aggressively redundant.

Not funny, not clever, and not nearly as shocking as it thinks it is.

Although "The Happytime Murders" isn't much fun to watch, it was clearly a blast to make.

Yes, everything is quite uncomfortable indeed. [Full Review in Spanish]

Comedies this broad come down to percentage games and (in what has become a ritual for me, alas), I estimate less than 10 percent of screenwriter Todd Berger's jokes land.

A few critics are calling it the worst movie of the year. Unfair! This R-rated look at a serial killer running wild in a puppet-populated L.A., has what it takes to be a contender for worst of the decade.

Thanks must go to the underpaid puppeteers who crouched, ducked and manoeuvred all over Happytime's set, only for their physical labour to be used in service of a Sesame Street-meets-Bright mess.

I've been on "Sesame Street." I know Elmo. Cookie Monster is a friend of mine. "Happytime Murders," you're no "Sesame Street" . . . and you're not "Avenue Q" either.

The Happytime Murders takes its great premise and plays it so safe it becomes dull. Meet The Feebles, Team America and Roger Rabbit did all this before, and did it better.

Melissa plus pornographic puppets equals a movie that doesn't please anyone. Remember friends don't let friends go see "The Happytime Murders".

This premise holds some promise, but The Happytime Murders is a joyless, soulless slog, wasting the efforts of co-stars Melissa McCarthy and Elizabeth Banks. (Only Maya Rudolph, playing Phil's ditzy but puppet-tolerant secretary Bubbles, escapes pity.)

Perhaps the funniest tribute to Paul Verhoeven that has ever been shot. [Full Review in Spanish]
