arc August 25, 2018 Share August 25, 2018 A friend saw the movie and said it was terrible. So that got me to watch the (red band) trailer and man, the trailer is terrible. He said the movie is exactly what the trailer promises. The Chicago Tribune review is, if anything, harsher.

brgjoe August 25, 2018 Share August 25, 2018 Am on the fence about seeing this one. For those who have bravely ventured into the theaters to watch it -- is it really that bad? Or is it one of those films that is so bad it's good? You know, like a lot of the cheesy horror films you would see on SyFy these days. If it is still fun to snark at, I might just go and see this thing anyway. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/70331-the-happytime-murders-2018/#findComment-4618708
Silver Raven August 25, 2018 Share August 25, 2018 I went into it knowing it was stupid, and it was, and gross, but there were some seriously funny scenes.

Bruinsfan August 27, 2018 Share August 27, 2018 I went to see it this weekend. It wasn't all that funny, with a few exceptions, but was mostly entertaining to me. I got the feeling it was originally supposed to be a serious film noir style mystery that just featured puppets, and most of the jokes were added later in the process. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/70331-the-happytime-murders-2018/#findComment-4624222
afterbite August 28, 2018 Share August 28, 2018 (edited) I saw it and it was that bad. The most offensive part is that it wasn't really all that funny. It was a mix of 'not quite'. It was not quite a mystery movie, not quite a parody, not quite a(n actually funny) comedy. It threw a couple of gross-out humor gags in a subpar mystery plot and relied too much on 'puppets are doing this - isn't that hilarious!' without actually making it hilarious. That said, the lady in the row in front of me literally shrieked with delight multiple times, so there are those for whom this landed squarely on their funny bone. I thought that was going to be me and was sad when it wasn't.

CletusMusashi August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 I liked it because I like puppets. It's more interesting as a light dramatic mystery than it is as a comedy. The prolonged "joke" scenes were actually cringe-worthy, but some of the plot elements were clever enough that, the further into the movie I went, the better it held my interest. The main villain is pretty obvious, if you know what a Chekhov's Gunman is, but their actual identity and motivation was still a good twist. I think if I'd waited for streaming I might have taken a break and split this into two viewings, but I'm pretty hard to please in the theatre and I made it through this okay. With a longer run time and better world-building, or with a shorter runtime and less hamhandedly-delivered attempts at comedy, this would easily be a four star movie. As it is, I still give it three and a half. I barely laughed at all, but I was only bored during the parts where they tried way too hard to make me laugh. "Family Guy" knows how to beat a stupid or gross joke into the ground until it becomes hilarious. This movie doesn't. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/70331-the-happytime-murders-2018/#findComment-4633526
rmontro August 31, 2018 Share August 31, 2018 The premise here reminds me of the theater musical "Avenue Q", which is not a bad thing. But I'll probably just wait for it to come on cable to watch it. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/70331-the-happytime-murders-2018/#findComment-4635549
