Do you love Melissa McCarthy? Most likely. And do you also love puppets? Most likely not, but you should give them a chance in the upcoming raunchy comedy Happytime Murders.
Brian Henson (son of the late Muppets creator Jim Henson) is back behind the camera for this movie, and it’s much different than his previous projects, which include The Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island.
The Hollywood Reporter provides us with more details…
“Unlike Henson’s previous endeavors, Happytime Murders certainly isn’t kid-friendly — and the NSFW debut trailer proves that.
Melissa McCarthy plays the lead detective in a world where humans and puppets coexist. When the puppet castmembers of a beloved puppet TV show, The Happytime Gang, begin turning up dead, she’s forced to team up with a sex-crazed, alcoholic puppet.”
I don’t know about you, but that sounds interesting to me. This movie is obviously going to border on “too ridiculous” to be funny, but it might just pull it off.
Check out the trailer below. It’ll hit theaters August 17, 2018.
