I really LIKED the movie, not loved, liked. I expected myself to laugh alot more at this. All the fourth-wall and sight gags were very clever but if you bring a young kid with you they will be slightly bored with this, its more of an older kids and up film. The humans were slightly underdeveloped (Gary and Mary were fortunate enough to avoid this but Tex Richman suffers from this. The songs were both catchy and well made and the cameos were funny too (especially Jack Black's torture at the hands of the muppets who were among the few who saw Gulliver's Travels). I also feel like the world is ignoring Muppets Tonight due to how they basically buried references to the show (Pepe's brief cameo, Bobo the Bear not doing anything, no Clifford) and to be true they probably forgot all about the Jim Henson hour too. I don't hate the original Muppet show but I grew up with the MT show.
Overall a terrific film, but not as good as I though it'd be
A good B+ movie
