Talk:The Happytime Murders

Properly Formated Citations Would Be Apprieciated
I added all the citations but didn't put them in properly because I was working really hard to get all the information into the article ASAP. I could use somebody else's help with that because I'm busy. We need names, authors of the articles, when they were written... You know. TheMovieGuy (talk) 01:55, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Too many genres
The lead for this article lists the genre as "puppet action black comedy mystery thriller film". This is way too much detail and we need to decide what the most important genre is. For starters, referring to 'puppet' as the genre is a bit of stretch as this movie has both puppets and live-action characters in it. A similar example of this is the 2011 version of The Muppets, which had both puppets and real people in it and yet wasn't referred to as a 'puppet' movie.

That leaves us with the following genres:
 * Action
 * Black comedy
 * Mystery
 * Thriller

Most film articles tend to have 1-2 genres. We need to decide which of the four are the most important. Whovian99 (talk) 09:49, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I haven't heard anything back, so I've changed the genre to "black comedy crime film". I think this sums up the tone of the film based on the trailers and other info. Discuss here if you disagree. Whovian99 (talk) 04:15, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Critical reception summary
There have been repeated IP edits to the article lead which altered the summary of critical reviews, making the lead's summary more favourable of the film than is supported by the sourced material in the article body. If editors have reliable secondary sources which give better reviews, then summarize this in the article body with citations to the sources. Only then should the lead be rewritten. Thank you. – Reidgreg (talk) 15:42, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
