Movie Review: Muppets Most Wanted

Three years ago the Muppets returned to the big screen. That movie had to be thought of as a gamble, I mean, the Muppets have not exactly been on the tongue of popular culture of late. Still, it looked like a fun movie, and it turned out to be fantastic. It was a movie that knew exactly what kind of uphill battle it had, it was a story about friendship and good things as much as it was a fight for survival, a claim for continued relevance. It is a movie that proved to be immensely enjoyable for all ages across all demographics, it was fun, funny, silly, and creative. It was inevitable that we would get a sequel. The biggest question is whether it would prove to be worthy.

Trailer Park: Muppets Most Wanted

A couple years back, the Muppets made their triumphant return to the big screen. I will not lie, I loved it. The movie was a blast and did not have a cynical bone in its body. It felt fresh, light, fun, and remained true to who the Muppets are. Now, they are coming back in Muppets Most Wanted. I have to say I worry that it will not measure up to the last one, but I would also be lying if I said this did not look like fun or that I wasn't looking forward to it. Bring it on! It is scheduled for release on March 21, 2014.
