Anyone check it out last night? I felt like I was on an LSD trip. But I liked it...........
Christopher Meloni plays a contract killer who can't shake an imaginary friend — winged donkey-unicorn Happy — in this bloody, weird debut. |
The central premise of “Happy!,” drawn from the original comics, is that a winged, blue unicorn — a donkey-unicorn (a donkicorn?) — is haunting (or is it helping?) an ex-cop turned hitman named Nick (Christopher Meloni). Nick’s got some issues, like so many swaggering protagonists of bloody comic books do: he drinks, he gambles, he murders, he doesn’t call home. But that’s about to change, sort of. Happy (voiced by Patton Oswalt) — a furry, upbeat, anthropomorphized fantasy equine — is his new imaginary friend, and he has a Christmas mission for ol’ Nick. A creepy old man dressed as Santa Claus has been kidnapping children and imprisoning them in crates. Only Happy, and Nick, can get them out. |
