Featured review
Merely Average
As a die-hard Muppet fan, I'd been waiting for this one forever. To see the Muppets playing themselves, as they did in the first 3 movies before Jim Henson passed away, instead of some adaptation of a classic story, excited me. Unfortunately, when Jim Henson died, the heart of the Muppets went with him. While he tried to draw more adults to The Muppet Show, even going so far as titling the pilot "Sex and Violence," this one caters a bit more to the younger bunch, with some awfully misused '70s music and an ex-Nickelodeon director. Why Jerry Juhl and co. were apparently afraid that the movie wouldn't attract enough kids is a mystery to me, but here we have an opening scene set to "Brick House." Unfortunately, the bottom line is that this movie is just not that funny. Bordering on brilliance at times with a hilarious scene borrowed from "Independence Day" and a cameo by Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson ("I wish Dawson was here"), the rest of the movie just chugs along with too many unfunny jokes. Yes, Steve Whitmire finally has Kermit down to an art, and all the Muppeteers do fantastic jobs, and Jeffrey Tambor does a great job with the material, but once again I stress, NOT FUNNY. So sorry. I'll go back to The Great Muppet Caper now.
