Was wondering what was up with this movie. I read they ran into some legal troubles from Jim Henson Company.

Wikipedia wrote:Lawsuit[edit]

In May 2018, Sesame Workshop, the organization behind the production of the television series Sesame Street, filed a lawsuit against STX Productions for using their trademark in a film they have no involvement with, including the tagline "No Sesame, all Street." They alleged that associating a children’s program with an adult comedy would smear the earlier’s reputation as well as confuse individuals. In response, STX issued a statement indicating their persistence to keep the marketing for the film unchanged.[17][18]

On May 30, 2018, the lawsuit was rejected by the presiding judge for the case, with STX issuing a brief statement soon thereafter:

"We fluffing love Sesame Street and we're obviously very pleased that the ruling reinforced what STX's intention was from the very beginning — to honor the heritage of The Jim Henson Company's previous award-winning creations while drawing a clear distinction between any Muppets or Sesame Street characters and the new world Brian Henson and team created. We believe we accomplished that with the very straightforward NO SESAME, ALL STREET tagline. We look forward to continued happytimes as we prepare to release Happytime Murders this summer."[19]

Some TV spots for the film have since made references to the lawsuit by starting the ads with "From the studio that was sued by Sesame Street..."[20]

I despise McCarthy.

I don't see how they beat the law suit.

But that "servicing a client" scene was hilarious. :lol:
After Tuesday, even the calendar goes WTF!
