The Muppets - Another Hollywood attempt to make money off a franchise. It will work because, unlike most franchise movies, this movie is almost good. I had never seen The Muppets before this movie. I had heard of them, but only as a cultural reference. I knew there was a frog and a pig and some other things, quite uninteresting things, I must say. The movie didn't move me, but the score is good. The story is believable enough, but if they needed money, why didn't they just get the world's biggest plumber supply dealer, Gonzo, to spot them the $12 mil? The two complaints I have with this movie are it, like other franchises because they lack originality, has no staying power. The viewer has a few high emotive moments during the movie, but a day later, the movie is a blank memory. The other complaint is a poor use of Amy Adams. She has more talent than all the other characters, yet she had almost no screen time. 5/10

I'm going to go ahead and say that you need therapy.

Tulane, on the real, you might need to chill with the reviews. perhaps you would be better off trying to join ongoing discussions as opposed to keeping this thread updated.

what i am about to say may sting a little, but i'm going to give it to you straight.


right or wrong, no one on this board respects or values your opinion of cinema enough, or anything else with all probability, to let this thread flourish. just trying to help, brotato.

you're not bothering me, but it's mostly because i don't frequent the thread because we have opposing views on films.

have yourself a merry little Christmas (with non-alcoholic eggnog)

Who the F has never seen the Muppets?!?

Why would I read a movie review by someone that is that out of the American cultural lexicon? Why am I still typing?
