For my entire life I have been an avid Muppet fan! I just love those cute little puppets! My brother and I share this special Muppet bond, in which we watch Muppet movies and The Muppet Show together all of the time, so it was only natural that we have completely fallen in love with their newest film, The Muppets! I feel like everyone has mixed feelings about this movie, so let me just tell you why it is so wonderful!
First off, Jason Segel. He wrote it, he stars in it, he sings and dances, and he will someday be my husband. Really, what other reason do you need? But I will tell you anyways. I love that this movie is not just the Muppets acting out another existing story like Treasure Island and A Christmas Carol (which of course are wonderful as well), but this movie is in fact about the Muppets themselves and their real to life struggles and stories (because we all know that Muppets are real, right?). There is some serious character development in this film. And for a person who loves and watches the original Muppet Show, it is fantastic! Long forgotten Muppets are brought back to life, like Lew, or the Pigs in Space! And how can you pass up the truly phenomenal musical numbers??? "Life's a Happy Song" and of course the OSCAR WINNING number, "Man or Muppet." Oh, and the humor! Totally cheeseball, and I absolutely devour it up! Like, I literally just belly laugh through the whole movie! And the tenderness! There are some seriously tender moments in this movie! And if all of this does not convince you, just read this lovely quote...
“As long as there were singing frogs and joking bears, Swedish chefs and boomerang fish, the world can’t be that bad of a place after all.”
-Walter
See, don't you just want to watch and fall in love with this lovely movie???
