Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Happytime Murders (2018)

Muppet-style puppets coexist with humans as a maligned minority. When someone starts bumping off the puppet stars of a long-canceled sitcom, a detective and her former puppet partner begrudgingly reunite to work the case.

There is a lot of crudeness and much of it is so over-the-top that it just doesn't work. It's almost saved by Melissa McCarthy just flat-out going for it, though.
