As a big fan American team: World Police and Street PI was excited when you stumbled HAPPYTIME murderIt is a gray movie for the attractive crime process with dolls, while passing through the Netflix catalog. I started shaking when I learned that Brian Hinson, the legendary son of Jim Hinson. HAPPYTIME murder Because I expected a great design for dolls that would make his father, OG, proud.

Although I do not have complaints about doll movements and their sound manufacture, HAPPYTIME murder It is ultimately disappointment because it contains everything he needs to be effective comedy, but the trips are constantly on itself to get its point of view.

Dolls against humans

In a world where dolls and humans are often separated, HAPPYTIME murder It is presented to Permet Private Eye boiled, Phil phillips (Bill Barretta), a former policeman who was previously working alongside Detective Kony Edwards (Melissa McCarthy).

Phil was the first puppet of the police force, but his term ended after a failed rescue resulted in the death of an innocent man 12 years ago. Phil works as a single practitioner, where Phil has been contacted by Sandra (Dorien Davies) to find out who blackmail her for $ 350, which is meaningless because she is ready to pay $ 300 a day, in addition to expenditures, to resolve the case, when it could give her the ease of payment of tear and moving forward in her life.

Meanwhile, members of a doll team Happytime gang He is slowly killed by an unknown striker, which banned Lieutenant (Leslie David Baker) Phil as a work consultant alongside Kony, who does not want anything he does after the accident that led to his expulsion from force in the first place.

All pulses are there

In the value of the face, HAPPYTIME murder It has all the strong comic motifs, but somehow collapses because it lacks one element that would make it satirical at the next level. As Mr. Bumblypants (Kevin Clash), Phil and Najm’s brother Happytime gang Larry (Victor wants), Lily (Kevin Clash, again), and Agner (Drew Massi) systematically eliminated under increasing suspicious conditions, there is no shortage of creative killing that will leave you in stitches (intended from the pun, but simply not sufficient for chemistry that maintains energy throughout the film.

This is especially disappointing when we learn the reason behind the early killings: Happytime gang In the transition, the huge payments are about to make it to the main actors, and someone tries to reap the benefits by spending his legacy by ensuring that these checks are not obtained; It is a convincing story by its nature and a very fun mystery to participate with scenes.

Melissa McCarthy is perfect for the role of Detective Cony Edwards in HAPPYTIME murderAnd its performance deserves praise, but the energy that it exudes is unparalleled in the end dummy Her counterparts and her superiority, Lieutenant Banging, who does nothing more than delivering his lines categorically. During hot exchanges full of profanity between Detective Kony Edwards and Philip, the most likely you will get from the lieutenant who prohibits his efforts to abandon the situation “Come now”, when orders should bark about how the mayor works if they do not do things through books, or some other petitions that will work in this matter.

Disappointing, but strong evidence of the concept

As much as I wanted to love HAPPYTIME murderIt is simply everywhere to be fun. The scenes of the doll that you move (will know it when you see it) are happy on their own because it is too much and disgusting, but it does not necessarily lead the stories forward. Melissa McCarthy Each scene leads in one, but it seems that none of its human stars follow its progress and coincides with its enthusiasm. And when you put everything together, you get a chaos from unconstitutional birth and jokes that do not land because the energy between people who say to them is inconsistent.

As evidence of the concept, HAPPYTIME murder It is a brave effort, and I would like to see the team of actors and the crew getting a second chance because there are some loud moments throughout the movie. On this ascension, however, everyone is less than the total number of its parts.

To write these lines, HAPPYTIME murder Flow on Netflix.
