The Muppets Movie Review

The Muppets follows Gary (Jason Segel) and his brother Walter, a muppet, and Gary's girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams). They all take a trip to the Muppet studios, where they get to meet the Muppets. They start to help the Muppets when they find out an evil oil baron named Tex Richman (played by the great Chris Cooper) wants to drill for oil under the Muppet studio. Without further ado, I will give my opinion of this film. This is not a perfect or dazzling film, but it is a really really good film. My main complaint with the film both does and doesn't involve the story line. My main complaint is that while the film has a lot of great celebrity cameos, about 75% of the cameos are just walk on walk off cameos. By this I mean a lot of the cameos don't allow the actors doing the cameos to say much or do much. Now, as for the story, it's actually pretty damn good. Jason Segel wrote this film for the most part, and you can definitely see he has a lot of Muppet love in him, and all the talking to the camera tricks and puns work wonders. The Muppets is also a semi-musical with a lot of good musical numbers. The whole cast is terrific as well, and even if you've never heard of the Muppets before, you'll thoroughly enjoy this film.
