If hearing the word "Muppets" brings back fond childhood memories, get ready, because Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and the rest of the hand puppet crew are back and better than ever.
The film follows Walter, a puppet with a human brother named Gary (Jason Segel). Together, they travel to Los Angeles with Gary's girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams) for the couple's 10th anniversary. Walter, a fan of "The Muppet Show," decides to visit the legendary Muppet Studio and encounters corrupt oil magnate Tex Richman (Chris Cooper), who wants to destroy the studio to dig for oil. Desperate, Walter, Gary, Mary and Kermit embark on a road trip to gather the Muppet gang, put on a show to raise $10 million and stop Richman.
The audience gets a chance to see the Muppets in their new lives: Kermit lives alone and depressed in his Hollywood mansion, Gonzo is a high-class plumber at Gonzo's Royal Flush and Miss Piggy is a fashion editor at Vogue Paris. Some are happy, some are not¸ but eventually they are convinced to join the group and save Muppet Studio. The film features musical numbers with songs from each decade—including Cee Lo Green's "Forget You," performed by a group of chickens—along with cameos by Selena Gomez, Whoopi Goldberg, Neil Patrick Harris and Sarah Silverman, among others.
The film is everything fans might expect—hilarious, adorable and appropriate for all ages. It's a treat for those with memories of the original children's show—or for anyone who wants to escape into a world where man and Muppet are one and the same.
