- Manuel FrangisMarch 30, 2025I just watched The Muppets from 2011, and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This movie is pure joy from start to finish. It is funny, heartwarming, and full of that classic Muppet charm that has been loved for generations. Whether you grew up with the Muppets or this is your first real introduction to them, this movie totally works. It brings the characters back in a way that feels fresh while still keeping all the magic that made them so iconic in the first place. The story follows a new character named Walter, who is a huge Muppet fan. He and his brother Gary, played by Jason Segel, end up going on a trip to Los Angeles and discover that the old Muppet Theater is about to be torn down. That kicks off a mission to reunite all the Muppets and put on a show to save the theater. It is a simple setup, but it hits all the right emotional beats and makes you care about these characters, even if they are made of felt. Jason Segel and Amy Adams are both great in this. Their performances are full of heart and energy, and they never try to outshine the Muppets. They fit perfectly into the tone of the movie. You can tell there is a lot of love for the Muppets behind this whole production. Segel was actually one of the writers, and it shows. The script is packed with humor, clever nods to the original shows and movies, and enough fourth-wall-breaking to keep things playful without going overboard. The real stars, of course, are the Muppets themselves. Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Animal, and the whole crew are back and just as lovable as ever. Kermit especially has some emotional moments that hit harder than you would expect from a puppet. His story in this one is about doubt and whether the Muppets still matter, and watching him work through that makes the big moments feel even more earned. And Miss Piggy? Still dramatic, still hilarious, still iconic. The humor is spot on. There are jokes for kids, but also a ton of clever stuff for adults. It never talks down to the audience, and it balances silly gags with smart writing. There are also some amazing cameos that I will not spoil, but they totally add to the fun. You never know who is going to pop up next, and that surprise factor keeps things exciting. The music is another huge win. Bret McKenzie from Flight of the Conchords wrote the songs, and they are funny, catchy, and full of emotion. Songs like "Man or Muppet" and "Life’s a Happy Song" are absolute bangers, and they fit so well into the story. The soundtrack gives the movie even more personality and helps drive the emotional beats home. I give The Muppets 5 out of 5 stars because it is a perfect mix of nostalgia, fun, and heart. It respects what came before while also introducing the characters to a whole new generation. Overall The Muppets is a funny, sweet, and completely lovable movie that reminds you why these characters have been around so long. It is one of the best feel-good movies I have seen, and I already want to watch it again.
