Muppets 2011
Well, it's not bad...
The Muppets
But you don't want to go in with high expectations...
Think Nostalgia... And goofy, silly, hokey fun... You know: Muppet-ish.
Kermit the Frog goes through his Rolodex (!) and calls the White House looking for President Carter, for example...
The typical fun cameos... Wish they'd done more with Mickey Rooney (!) when they were setting up the "Let's all get together and put on a show" theme...
Unfortunately, not even the Muppets can't make Whoopi Goldberg look less smarmy.
And some folk in the know will definitely be aware of the voice differences from the new performers behind the classic characters...
Steve Whitmire has made Kermit his own...
But Miss Piggy misses the mark, and the shots of her full bodied are grotesque and jarring...
Appreciation for Dave Goelz back as the original Gonzo and Waldorf.
