The Muppets Film Review


The Muppets, starring Jason Segal, Amy Adams and not to mention the motley crew of Muppets, is a fantastic film for the whole family; it's packed with fun, frolics, singing and plenty of cheese that will help you escape the mundane of everyday life and enter the bizarre world of these lovable puppets!

The Muppets film tells the sing-along story of three Muppets fans who discover that the infamous Muppet studios are under threat from a tycoon who is eager to pull down the studio for the oil supplies buried deep beneath them. Horrified at these plans, Gary, Mary and Walter set out to re-unite the Muppets crew in an attempt to save the studios from destruction. There are plenty of laughs and cringe-worthy (but quietly entertaining!) songs along the way as Gary, Mary and Walter set out on their road trip to gather the Muppets together to perform one final show.

Okay so this film is pretty damn awesome ... I love that it doesn't take itself too seriously and once you get past the over the top random outbreaks of song, it really makes for excellent viewing! The Muppets film cleverly captures the essence of the Muppets from their hey day, but reinvents the show so that it appeals to the more modern audience.

I found myself giggling from start to finish and left the cinema with a big smile on my face. I would most definitely recommend The Muppets film to anyone looking for some light-hearted cinema fun.
