The Muppets

So in my review of The Lorax I said I would review E.T or The Muppets I saw The Muppets first so will review that. But I will review E.T next. Anyway let's start my review for The Muppets.

Walter (the puppet) and Gary (the human)

So the movie starts in a small town called Smalltown where we see two brothers Gary (Jason Segel) and Walter (Peter Linz by the way Walter is a puppet). Walter is huge fan of The Muppets. One day Gary and his girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams) are going to Las Angeles and Walter comes with them. When they get there, they go to The Muppet Studios but it's broken down. Walter sneaks into Kermit The Frog's office where he sees an evil business man named Tex Richman (Chris Cooper Tex has this funny running gag where instead of laughing he say "Maniacal Laugh" ) who wants to destroy The Muppet Studios to get the oil underneath it. Walter also hears that if The Muppets can raise $10 million by the time Kermit's  contract expires, The Muppets get the studio back. Walter runs back to Gary and Mary. So they try to get in Kermit The Frog's (Steve Whitmire) house. Kermit lets them in. So Walter and his friends convince Kermit to put The Muppets back together.

So they go to Reno to get Fozzie Bear (Eric Jacobson) who is working for a cheap knock-off of The Muppets called The Moopets. Then they get Animal (also Eric Jacobson) who is taking an anger management class. Then they get Gonzo (Dave Goelz) who is the president of some plumbing industry. Once they get all The Muppets, they only have one Muppet to get, Miss. Piggy(ALSO Eric Jacobson). So they go to Paris France where Miss. Piggy is a fashion designer. They ask Miss. Piggy to be in The Muppets but she says no. So they replace her with her Moopet Knock-off Miss. Poogy (David Rudman). Unfortunately no TV studio wants them to perform. But one TV studio just got a show canceled . So The Muppets host a telethon. The Muppets go to the old Muppets theater and fix it up. Miss. Piggy comes back and Miss. Poogy is fired. But Kermit can't get a celebrity guest star. So The Muppets ask Tex Richman for The Muppet Studios back but he says no (through the worst rap song ever) and reveals that if The Muppets don't get the $10 million they also lose The Muppet name and they wont be The Muppets anymore. Kermit can't get a guest star and Kermit gives up. So Miss. Piggy Takes charge. Miss. Piggy and some other Muppets kidnap Jack Black (Jack Black) to use him as a guest star for the show.

"The Rainbow Connection"

So it's time for the show and we get an reenactment of The Muppets Show theme song. and the opening act where Gonzo tries to knock a bowling pin off Jack Black's head. But Gonzo gets the bowling ball stuck to his hand. Then The Muppets do horrible barbershop quartet version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (its very very very bad watch the original) which tortures Jack Black (that has officially beat the giant eggplant car chase from Mr. Magoo). Then we get a wonderful rendition of "The Rainbow Connection". Then we get the final act where Walter does a whistling act. But Tex knocks out the power and The Muppets are only one dollar off. So The Muppets lose the studio and The Muppet name. But Kermit realizes that they are all still performers and they will start over. They leave the theater and they still have fans.The En...oh wait Tex Richman gets hit in the head with a bowling ball and gives The Muppets The Muppet Studio back.The End.

                                                     ***SPOILERS OVER KEEP READING***


That was The Muppets; it was great. The jokes (like when they break the fourth wall) are funny; most of the songs are memorable. Speaking of the songs, some of them are meant to be cheesy which you may or may not like. It also has the feel of an episode of The Muppet Show. Now there are some subplots I skipped like Walter not being confident and a romance subplot with Gary and Mary. You may find some subplots unnecessary. Overall it's a pretty good film.
