I wanted to watch this when it was released back in 2011, but somehow just never got around to it. Everybody who saw it then seemed to enjoy it, so when I saw that it was on TV this Christmas I made an effort to watch it. And I'm so glad that I did!
The story focuses on Walter (voiced by Linz), a Muppet fanatic who visits the old Muppet studio with his brother Gary (Segel), only to discover that a rich oil tycoon (Tex Richman, played by Cooper) is going to buy it and tear it down without the Muppets knowledge. All this leads to a quest to find The Muppets and get them back together to put on a gala to raise enough money to stop Tex.
The Muppets is exactly what you expect it to be - a fun, all-singing, all-dancing musical with lots of in-movie jokes and a good-humored nature to it. There's nothing nasty or menacing about this, it's just a feel-good movie with some fun songs. Perfect for a relaxing New Years Day afternoon movie.
Rating: 4 out of 5
