11 Movie and TV Picks for August8 of 11
The Happytime Murders | In U.S. theaters on Friday, Aug. 24
This is the year where Melissa McCarthy looks to push her career into edgier territory (she also has the dark drama Can You Ever Forgive Me? lined up for awards season). Old-school fans of Peter Jackson will make gleeful and optimistic comparisons between The Happytime Murders and Jackson's 1989 puppet musical Meet the Feebles, which was so perverse it went unrated in most countres. Despite Happytime's destiny to become a cult classic, it's still a risky commercial prospect and we appreciate that McCarthy is taking chances after playing it safe with her last several movies. — Arno
