Review of The Muppets (2011) by Txrangersfan72 — 26 Nov 2011

Thrilled to see the return of The Muppets, I enthusiastically visited my local theater on opening day! Jason Segel, a self-described Muppets fanatic, co-wrote and produced this revival of my childhood.

While the script isn't very polished, the story is adorable and a perfect modern representation of these characters. After the boring "Muppets in Space" from the late 90s, I was thrilled to see these characters treated with such love.

The numerous "4th Wall" we're cute, especially when they were self-deprecating, but I think it was a bit overdone. The flow of the film was very choppy, but much of it intentional. Kids and adults alike should absolutely love it.
