Anyone who has grown up watching beloved characters like 'Kermit', 'Miss. Piggy', 'Big Bird' or Oscar the Grouch may be completely outraged by this new comedy, or you could be of the same opinion as me, and absolutely love it.
The film is set in world where puppets and people live together.
We get introduced to Private Detective Phil Philips, who is working on a case but ends up getting involved in a mass shooting in a Porno store. He ends up working with his former Police Partner to try and figure why the stars of a 90's kids show are being bumped off. Hostilities rise up between the Cop and Private Dick, and Melissa McCarthy is well matched to take on anything coming her way, whether warm blooded or hand stitched.
It's a great concept, and the story works well. The puppets are brilliantly done, there is a nice little video during the end credits which gives insight into how they were brought to life.
The best way to describe it is it is like watching "Sesame Street" but an after 10pm special, so there are no holds barred, and thats definitely the case here.
Despite the mauling that some critics have given it, if you go in knowing what to expect, then like me you will find it to be highly entertaining, laugh out loud comedy.....7 out of 10
