In Theaters : THE MUPPETS (2011)

Official Synopsis : On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world's biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Jason Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets' former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.

Genre: Comedy, Family, Musical

What to Expect : An impressive big screen return for Jim Henson's Muppets. Clever, heartfelt, well executed and featuring an excellent cast. You can't go wrong with the Muppets.

Critical Response : Positive. I kind of have to take back what I said about "Hugo" regarding how rare movies with all-positive reviews are, because "The Muppets" fared even better. The general consensus is that this charming movie is a wonderful treat for both fans of Henson's characters and the uninitiated. Rated 98% on Rottentomatoes.com from 120 positive and 3 negative reviews.
