Review of Muppets Most Wanted (2014) by Anna C — 01 May 2014

I thought this movie was good, funny, hilarious, and crazy. My friends really like the movie with all the Muppet. Tina Fey is adorable as a gulag guard who yearns to sing, but even better is Ty Burrell as a Clouseau-like Interpol inspector.

I also Although this movie has lots of laughs and a willingness to poke fun at itself, it doesn't quite recapture the magic of the last movie. Close, but not quite. Muppet Most Wanted is pleasant enough to recommend as family entertainment.

But the movie falls short of what immediately preceded it, musically and emotionally. The story matters only in that it creates opportunities for heaps of ridiculousness, and writer-director James Bobin (who also directed The Muppet), along with co-writer Nicholas Stoller, mines them skillfully and breezily.

I really like this movie a lot too.
