It's time to play the
music. It's time to light the lights. It's time to meet the Muppets in Muppets
Most Wanted tonight. Riding high on their comeback, Muppets Most Wanted picks
up where “The Muppets” left off. Anxious to continue their success, the gang wants
to produce a sequel but Kermit isn’t so sure. As they try to decide their next
career decision, they meet Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais) who claims to be
interested and in their talent and agrees to be their manager. Kermit once
said, “it’s not easy being green” but sooner learns that it becomes harder when
the green turns mean. Through a series of events, Kermit’s identity is
stolen by Constantine, the world’s most dangerous criminal frog, and Kermit is
imprisoned in Russia. As Kermit struggles to escape and clear his name, Fozzi
and Walter begin to suspect that something is wrong and the quest to find their
friend begins. Will they find Kermit and restore things back to normal? Will
Constantine’s plans be foiled, and will Kermit finally marry Miss Piggy? All these
questions and more are answered in this action-packed comedy that will have you
holding your sides with laughter and leave you wanting more Muppet mayhem.

While I am usually wary of
sequels, the Muppets have a well-proven track record when it comes to
successful stories and comical skits and Muppets Most Wanted continues this
tradition faithfully. It was wonderful to see some of the original Muppet
characters return such as Sam Eagle and Annie Sue as well as the return of
Walter from the first film. The cast of supporting celebrity stars added to the
playful antics of the Muppets and felt nostalgic in some instances, reminding
me (and many audiences) of the original Muppet show celebrity guest
appearances. While I was initially disappointed that both Amy Adams and Jason
Siegel didn’t reprise their roles, the celebrities assembled for this sequel
made up for the absence. The plot, while some would argue was predictable, was
witty, charming, and even surprising, taking a few turns even I wasn’t expecting.
So what’s next for Kermit and his friends? Well, only time will
tell. For now, Mickey Mouse Movie House gives this side-splitting sequel an A+.
See you next time at the movies. Wokka wokka!
