You Knew It Was Coming

*SPOILERS*

It lived up to the hype. I've posted reviews from Entertainment Weekly, New York Times, Yahoo, and The Disney Blog. What about a review from moi?


The last movie review I did was from Tower Heist. Now it's time for my predicted movie of the year, The Muppets.

I thought this was movie was an extremely fun romp! It begins with the greeting of the lovable Walter and his very kind brother Gary.

After a rousing rendition of 'Life's A Happy Song,' the two along with Mary are on their way to L.A. In a tour of the Muppet Theater, Walter overhears Tex Richman's plan to destroy the studio. Let the fun begin!

The trio and Kermit round up the whole gang with tons of laughs and memories.

My core five of the memorable moments that made the movie Muppety are as follows:

  • The slew of cameos including Mickey Rooney, John Krasinski, Neil Patrick Harris, and one pleasant surprise that you'll have to see to believe!
  • The nostalgia factor. You get to see the moments before Kermit pops out of the O in Show. Classic songs like Rainbow Connection, Mahna Mahna, and The Muppet Theme are delivered in perfect fashion. Old memorabilia such as Kermit's tux, old pictures, and the Electric Mayhem bus are featured. They even threw in some Jim Henson pictures. One of the greatest features.
  • The references that they are in fact, in a movie. Such as the suggestions that they put together a montage, travel by map, and Segal referencing that he just sang multiple times.
  • The classic comedy. Zingers from Statler and Waldorf. The Swedish Chef's gibberish. Fozzie Bear's what-the-wokka jokes. The Moopets. Many moments are strung together to provide many laughs.
  • The lovable songs. I've mentioned Rainbow Connection, Mahna Mahna, and The Muppet Theme Show. The original songs such as 'Me Party,' 'Pictures in My Head,' and 'Life's A Happy Song' are delightful.
I loved the Muppets. You should see it. Wokka Wokka!

A+
