The second film of Disney’s rebooted series is an uninspired rehash of prior successes. Trying to emulate the zany crime plot of The Great Muppet Caper and retain the emotional stakes of Kermit and Miss Piggys’ romance from Muppets Take Manhattan, Muppets Most Wanted mostly relies on celebrity cameos and a few standout musical numbers to justify br...
The subtitle of Muppets From Space reads “it's not as deep as you think,” and unfortunately you can say the same thing about the movie. Muppets From Space has a solid foundational idea: Gonzo has never been taken seriously by his fellow Muppets and wonders if his “quirks” might be better accepted by his birth family. Unfortunately, this is a storyl...
The 2011 soft reboot of The Muppets is a film that suffers upon repeated viewings. Initially, the retooling of the plot of The Muppet Movie as a reunion show that reunites all of the characters is a charming hook, but other than nostalgia for the original era, the film doesn’t have any real insights on the characters. A film like Star Wars: The For...
Prior to Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, good pirate movies had been rare since the Golden Age of Hollywood, as for some reason swashbuckling maritime action struggled connecting with audiences, and resulted in disasters like Pirates! or Cutthroat Island. The fact that Muppet Treasure Island is one of the better ones speaks more...
The Great Muppet Caper is a novelty among the early films. It was the cinematic directorial debut of Jim Henson himself, and instead of focusing on the pressure of performing, the film spoofed classic journalism comedies like His Girl Friday and The Philadelphia Story. It was a beneficial new spin, as the Muppets are well-suited for a comedy of err...
While the story of The Muppets Take Manhattan is fairly similar to The Muppet Movie, in that it revolves around keeping the gang together in preparation for a performance that will save their show, it's a formula that works. There’s a central tension around wrangling the various absurd personalities together, and both films use the challenges for h...
The Muppets Christmas Carol is a bonafide holiday classic and one of the stronger adaptations of the Charles Dickens story. Michael Caineis truly phenomenal as Scrooge; he’s just nasty enough that his threats to the Muppet characters are both funny and menacing, and his redemption is handled delicately. Gonzo and Rizzo keep things light throughout ...
The Muppet Movie is the perfect distillation of what makes the characters endearing. It's the story of outsiders who haven’t found a community, and the origin story perfectly establishes how doomed they’d be on their own. Kermit and Fozzie embarking on a road trip that introduces each of the characters highlights their individuality, and it fleshes...
