7/10
Good Muppet Movie
21 March 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I saw "Muppets Most Wanted", starring the voice of Steve Whitmire-he has performed as Kermit since Jim Henson died in 1990; the voice of Eric Jacobson-he has been doing Miss Piggy since 2001; Ricky Gervais-The Invention of Lying, the Night at the Museum movies; Ty Burrell-Modern Family_t.v., The Incredible Hulk_2008 and Tina Fey-Admission, The Invention of Lying.

This is not really a sequel-there have been several earlier movies-but this one does take place right after the 2011 Muppets movie. This one also focuses more on the Muppets themselves, instead of the human leads. The plot concerns a look alike of Kermit that is a notorious bad guy. The villainous frog switches places with Kermit and nobody can tell the difference, well almost nobody. Animal can, but no one believes him. The Muppets go on tour across Europe, unknowingly participating in some burglaries for the evil frog. Miss Piggy realizes her life long dream of singing five Celine Dion songs per show, while on tour. Ricky plays the manager that books the tour, Ty is an Interpol agent that is hot on the trail of the thefts and Tina is in charge of the Russian prison that is holding the real Kermit. There are lots of songs and lots of famous cameos-you might have seen a few of them in the trailers. Basically, if you like the Muppets, then you should enjoy this one. There is a quick scene after the end credits. It's rated "PG" for some mild action and has a running time of 1 hour & 52 minutes. I enjoyed it and would buy it on DVD.
