THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS
Watchable. Really good entertainment. The trailer implied something gross and not necessarily funny which was way off the actual movie: a gangster comedy with two of my favourite actresses: Melissa McCarthy and Elizabeth Banks and with breezy music from the 80s. OK, it's the filthy side of muppets. You learn a female muppet is good for sex owing to a truly velvet pussy and several other details you didn't want to know. But the awkwardness provides for a few laughs. Cultural references are of a wide scope, e.g. a debt to the Scientology Church is mentioned, the detective shoots the radio hearing Dionne Warwick and Friends' "That's What Friends Are For" and the most famous "Basic Instinct" scene is recreated and serves solving the crime puzzle. Polish translation is over the top at times - the language is more coarse than the original.
