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.

Vincent is a man whose life seems to be one of which has gone the way of so many in cities and rural areas in America. The dream that once encapsulated that arguably captured all that was good in the land of the free has soured and gone past its sell-by date, all there is to look forward to for many is the daily existence granted by fate in which the daily struggle is just another excuse to be kicked in the face by a country that has forgotten them.
