Remember when we were kids and we sat in
front of the TV to watch The Muppet Show? There was unlimited family-friendly
fun, with catchy songs and snappy one-liners. This Muppet sequel, The Muppets Most Wanted, has all of
those memories and a fun plot that is great for kids with lots of laughs for
their adult drivers.
Constantine, the world most dangerous
frog, (voiced by Eric Jacobson) has escaped prison in Siberia and with the help
from his number two, Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais), sets up our hero Kermit.
Kermit is sent to the Siberian prison because he is thought to be Constanine
“It’s not easy being mean” Frog, where his warden is Nadya, played by Tina Fay.
She doesn’t care that Kermit isn’t really Constantine, she’s infatuated with Kurmeet. She asks him to produce the
annual prison review show.
Meanwhile, no one realized that Kermit
was missing. Sure he was acting weird and being very romantic to Miss Piggy who
was planning their wedding, even though Kermit hadn’t even proposed to her, but
no one truly realizes he’s missing.
There is a lot of slapstick comedy and
fun, if not predictable, plot twists. There are many cameo appearances by
famous actors and music talents. “Where is the Usher?” and he turns around. The
singer Usher. I laughed, not sure if anyone else in the theater did.
Other cameos were made by Stanley Tucci,
Tony Bennett, Danny Trejo, Christoph Waltz, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs and Salma
Hayek.
The acting was great and I would
actually see this movie again when it comes out on DVD.
Muppets Most Wanted was a great way to
pass an afternoon with the kids. I do recommend this movie to those who want to
spend time with the kids on rainy day or sometime when everyone needs to get
out of the house.
