The material's limitations are reached within the first half-hour.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 11, 2022

It leaves you with nothing to think about, and too many of the jokes fall short, with the genuinely funny ones being few and far between.

| Original Score: 2. 5 / 5 | Jun 25, 2021

You know when someone constantly swears just for the sake of swearing? That's shock value. The Happytime Murders is all shock, very little value.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 4, 2021

It has very little feel for detective movies, and throws together a boilerplate plot not unlike the kind of copy-of-a-copy sorta-spoof you'd see in a Sesame Street segment.

| Original Score: C | Feb 5, 2021

Right from the start, the dialogue is fraught with expletives, which is humorous the first couple of times before becoming overused to the point of exhaustion.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 6, 2020

Takes its raunch so seriously that it's seriously unfunny.

| Original Score: .5/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020

Characters are poorly defined, gags lack tension and payoff, and the movie drags itself by its fingernails until it reaches the end of its deceitfully short 79-minute runtime.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 25, 2020

The tone is stunning with its crudeness

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 9, 2020

The elements are there for a really funny movie -- a Jim Thompson story done with Muppets would be amazing -- so the film is not only bad; it's a huge disappointment.

| Jun 23, 2020

As much as I hem and haw over the entertainment value of the film, it's clear that there is something here worth exploring. Maybe next time.

The film is basically a string of variations on the not-that-funny joke of cute puppets saying and doing naughty things.

| Mar 4, 2020

Puppets have sex, kill each other, curse like sailors and abuse drugs. It's not anywhere near as lurid as it sounds.

| Original Score: 1.25/5 | Jul 16, 2019

Even if it's an hour and a half of the same joke, it's tremendously funny. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 11, 2019

The end credits feature an enjoyable 80's singalong...the most gratifying three minutes of the movie.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 18, 2019

The Happytime Murders delivers the bare minimum of what was promised and can't rightly be considered an outright failure for doing so.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 18, 2019

An empty offering of smut and silliness, with half-baked themes and misfired gags in abundance.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 5, 2019

The Happytime Murders somehow goes for the laziest possible jokes while also trying way too hard to be crude.

| Original Score: 1.5/10 | May 15, 2019

No one will ever praise this film as a prime example of the comedy genre

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 1, 2019

The Happytimes Murders is sometimes funny... The rest of the time, it's a bad copy of previous achievements in buddy cop comedy. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 2, 2019

90 minutes of laughless, mean-spirited hogwash

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 13, 2019
