awesome movie saw it with the family last night. Really funny and a good story sets up for a new generation of Muppet fans

Saw the 11:00 show last night. We were two of the four people there. Best way to watch a movie that would otherwise be ruined by having a bunch of kids around.
Really liked it. Lots of great cameos.

I thought Muppets wa good but that it was too serious at some points/could have done without Jason Segel and Amy Adams relationship drama.
Loved the cameos especially James Carville.

The Muppets frighten me, for some reason. I can't watch them.

Saw it last night and loved it. It was a little more musical than I expected but not in a bad way. Animal and the Swedish Chef had some great moments and the plot was well done and kept the movie moving.

The barbershop quartet version of "Smells like Teen Spirit" was great especially Beakers solo

I watched the Muppets Saturday. I honestly do not remember the last time I went to a movie and literally laughed out loud as much as I did with this one.
There were just enough corny one-liners mixed in with nostalgia to really make the adults in the theater laugh on quite a few occasions.
My 7 yr old daughter loved Fozzy Bear and Animal and is now hooked on The Muppets. My 2 yr old actually cried when it was over because he wanted more. (ok, he did sleep through the first 40 minutes).
The musical numbers were just the perfect match of nostalgia mixed in with some new "popular" songs.
The cast - even the small cameo's were perfect. I almost snorted Sprite through my nose when Walter's "human" reflection was revealed (I won't give it away, but it was a perfect casting and the actor did a great job with his 3 minutes of screen time).
For the record -- I'm not generally a sappy person. I stayed up watching the entire first season of "The Walking Dead" last night because I saw part of an episode earlier yesterday and got hooked.
I was also impressed to learn that Jason Segal was executive producer and writer of The Muppets. He definitely has a wide range - between the comedy he displayed in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and now the Muppets.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but it's at 98% now. I'm not sure who it is that brought it down.

Well, I knew he was perfect for this movie because of his play in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. In fact, I wanted him to do a Dracula Muppets movie.

The Muppet charm, always more at home within the intimate frame of a TV set, is gone here.

Desperately trying to appeal to not just the Gen Xers who grew up with Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Dr. Teeth, but also the tykes who've never even heard of Jim Henson, The Muppets has none of the easy confidence of the original TV show or the 1979 movie.

Finally saw it, and good lord do I have a huge smile on my face. Can't think of a film in years that has made me think back to childhood really compared to this (maybe Toy Story 3, but that's it). Like the Kermit watch, I forgot all about it, but now remember having one almost exactly like it in Kindergarten. They did this pretty perfectly and everything was just so well done. I completely lost it when the chickens started singing "frick You". Film had a lot of heart and you can tell everyone put their entire heart into this film and it makes you enjoy it that much more.
