The Muppet Show it isn’t, there is no cosy sense of mischief, of childhood playfulness felt, and yet the Henson name is driven through The Happytime Murders like a nail being hammered through a sock and because of this sense of stuffed innuendo and rebellion to go and deliver an adult-orientated puppet/human story, the makers have stitched together a film which is beautifully insubordinate, outrageously defiant and completely, and utterly, sublime.
