Ok. So I'm in the Scottsdale fashion mall with my girlfriend and we needed to kill some time and they just opened that new fancy theater so we're like let's just go to whatever movie is starting right now. So this was the only thing that worked and so we went to see it.

I only give you the backstory so you can understand how bizarre this was for us because going in we knew nothing about it to the point that I had no idea that it was puppets.

Basically the movie was lost in translation with puppets.

The bulk of my review is going to be dedicated to the puppet nudity, and I don't mean like Barbie doll nudity, this is full anatomical frontal ******** with puppets who are voiced by professor lupin from Harry Potter.

It was so freaking funny I'm sorry I'm so immature but when that puppet Weiner hit the screen we were a mess for the rest of the movie.

Now that I see the poster on this thread I'm not sure where all the praise is coming from I mean it was an ok movie but nothing in just script terms I feel like if it had been humans instead of puppets this movie would be a total afterthought I think all those reviewers are just really into puppet sex.

I'm a MASSIVE fan of Kaufman's writing... but I can admit this one went WAYYYYYYYYYYY over my head.

I enjoy most of his stuff, but yeah this was really strange. I toss stuff into my netflix queue and then watch it when it shows up a year or two later, so I had no idea what I was getting into by the time i watched it.
