Growing up I don't remember being a huge fan of the Muppet movies. Yes, I did love The Muppets Christmas Carol, but I don't believe I ever saw a muppets movie in the theater. (I did really love watching Muppets Babies on Disney Channel though.) Which is why it's funny, in a way, that the boy and I saw both this and the last muppet movie in theaters.
It's interesting going back and reading my last review about how surprised I was by all the music. We were ready for it this time, and there definitely was close to 7 or 8 songs throughout. My favorite of which had to be a rendition of "I Hope I Get It" from A Chorus Line.
I really loved all the cameos as well. Yes, there were a lot of big name actors in the leads, but there was a ton of other celebrities with only a single line or two. So many that I'm sure I missed a ton of them.
Overall, this movie was, as expected, a lot of fun. It may have been a little long at moments, but still, it's worth seeing even if you don't make it to the theater.
I love the Muppets! I wasn't sure about seeing this one though because the trailers make me think of The Great Muppet Caper which was my least favorite as a kid!
ReplyDeleteI saw this last weekend with 9 friends - we were laughing SO hard and then talked with horrid Russian accents all evening long (-:
ReplyDeleteI loved The Muppet Show when I was a kid. I can't wait until Sam and Rachel get a little older and I can introduce them to The Muppets!
