Agreed. It was as true to the spirit as it could be while updating the characters a little bit for the modern world.

Was it true to the spirit? I mean, Frank Oz and others disagree with that. Look it up if you want to know more.

One of Us: the movie
In short: Like the old Muppets tv show? You'll like this movie.
This film covers a lot of old ground, both in callbacks and establishing characters you should already know. Expect slapstick, madcap antics, and some new characters guaranteed never to be seen again. Don't get me wrong, it's slickly produced and gets a few out loud laughs. Just don't expect high concept filmmaking here. The Muppets formula of musical numbers and celebrity cameos gets cranked out here with the same regularity as a James Bond sequel. Longtime fan? Got time and money to burn? Get to the theater! Otherwise, nothing here you can't enjoy just as much on DVD in a few months.
