The Muppets

"Everything is great, everything is grand, I've got the whole wide world in the palm of my.." CRAP!!  You know that when you have a song in your head and it won't leave, it's either very catchy like a Katy Perry song, or it's about as deadly as getting hit with Rebecca Black's "Friday", which inevitably makes all future Fridays the worst day of the week.  Even though I've never actually seen the famous "Muppet Show" (put that knife down), I did grow up watching "Muppets take Manhattan" and "Muppet Babies"  during the better part of my childhood.  But that was last week, and now i'm hungry for something fresh, like the way Subway makes their sandwiches.  Being a huge fan of the Muppet movies, I can honestly say that this is the funniest one so far, and that includes being better than the original.  What makes this one so knee-slapping funny is mostly due to the writing abilities of Jason Segel, and for the musical talent of Flight of the Concord's Bret Mckenzie.  Bringing the wittiness of "How I Met Your Mother" and the "Flight Of The Concords" to the Muppets had to be one of the smoothest moves in movie making history, the only thing that comes close is Mariah Carey's performance in "Glitter".
Walter is Jason Segel's Muppet of a brother, and is "The Muppets" biggest fan, so when the chance came to visit the set of the "Muppet Show" HE TOOK IT!  It was to his muppet sadness when he found out that someone wants to replace it with an oil plant, and so in order to save the studio he has to get the whole Motley Crue back together for another production of "Sweeney Todd" and "CHICAGO".
This was a fun show, and it was good to see puppeteers put their hands up the Muppet's butts to make wholesome family comedy once again.  So go enjoy this movie, and don't be one of those losers that think the movie is a political statement against oil.  Those people obviously need to settle down and get an enema every once in an hour.
