The muppets movie was everything that I expected. I took my 6 year old son. He got the same magical look in his eye that I know I used to when I watched the TV show. They are magic. It just transports you to a simpler time and place. Where life is about singing your way through problems and finding joy in everything.
This movie has fantastic cameo’s in it as well. Mickey Rooney was in it. He has one line and was on screen for 5 seconds but it was worth seeing the whole movie just for that moment. Amy Adams is America’s sweetheart. She embodies everything that is wholesome and good in and idyllic americana. Jason Segel is surprisingly coy and funny without the raunch and I was delighted by his sincere performance in this movie.
If you loved the Muppets as a kid, see this movie. Take your kids and share the Muppets with them.
