Anyone rating this under a 5 should be ashamed of themselves

It's an R rated puppet noir slapstick with Jim Henson Company creators. What's not to love? You can't take this movie seriously. Just laugh a little. People who are comparing this to the Muppets need to get a life. Muppets aren't the only characters Jim Henson Company created over the last 50 years and there's millions of other felt puppets in the world. Yes; the puppets in this film act as intermediaries between our world and their fictional world... that's nothing new. And yes they are used as gag jokes sometimes. But they are controlled by world class puppeteers- isn't that what's fun about it?

If you enjoyed this; you should watch Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles. If you didn't enjoy this, understand that life is better when you laugh, even if the jokes aren't up to your standard.

Surprised by the 5 star review. Surprisingly entertaining!

Is this movie going to win any awards? Absolutely not. Does it have a clever plot? Ummm not exactly. However, it is far more fun and funny than the reviews and ratings suggest. I actually found it to be one of my favorite Melissa McCarthy movies. I thought the idea for the movie was actually pretty funny. Muppets are not just for children. If you go in not expecting a groundbreaking movie, you just might enjoy yourself. At minimum, deserves a seven.

Fun for what it is!

Originally saw in the theater last year, I don't know why I didn't review much sooner. Either way Melissa McCarthy is great fun and so is everyone else involved. Unfortunate Happytime Murders didn't do well it's quite enjoyable and cool concept for something that was originally a kids show!

Had a Happy Time

I know that the movie was ripped appart by the critics, but I had some really hard laugh on many scenes. I think that many people take the movie too serious. It is a puppet movie that deals with criminal movie clicheés, what would that be? For me it was completely clear that I will face a softly anarchistic movie with anarchistic jokes and fun. So it was. I laughed my face of, when one of the puppets "got off". Sorry, but who can't laugh at that, goes to basement to let it out! It was surely no serious story and also had some lags, but all-in-all I was well entertained. I would give a recommendation to people who like to laugh at silly things and to a not too serious audience.

A silly puerile comedy.

No idea what people were hoping for who left 1 star reviews but this is exactly what I expected- a funny, foul-mouthed, immature and very entertaining comedy

Sesame Workshop sued the team behind the film for the tagline, "No sesame. All street," claiming that the film tarnishes their reputation. The suit was rejected on May 30, 2018. Soon after, STX issued a brief statement, "We fluffing love Sesamstraße (1969) and we're obviously very pleased that the ruling reinforced what STX's intention was from the very beginning - to honor the heritage of The Jim Henson Company's previous award-winning creations while drawing a clear distinction between any Muppets or Sesame Street characters and the new world Brian Henson and team created. We believe we accomplished that with the very straightforward NO SESAME, ALL STREET tagline. We look forward to continued happytimes as we prepare to release Happytime Murders this summer." Some TV spots for the film started with "From the studio that was sued by Sesame Street..."
