The Muppets (Film #17)



I love the muppets. And I'm glad to see they still haven't lost their touch.

I watched this one about a month ago and I've got two kids under four so I really only remember the following:

1. Amy Adams has just the right amount of crazy eyes.
2. Everybody and their cousin had a cameo in this film.
3. Jason Segel can actually be likable when he's not in Bad Teacher.
4. Chris Cooper can really bust a move.
5.Kidnapping Jack Black is a great plot device.
6. I would totally, totally watch "Punch Teacher"
7. Emily Blunt should totally just make a career out of playing that character from The Devil Wears Prada.
8.Walter wasn't my favorite muppet, but he also wasn't my least favorite.
9. I'm pretty sure the movie accidentally promotes the notion that "like should stay would like"
10. I still liked it, regardless.

  2. 1. it's a crazy-eyed gift.
    2. kevin bacon is ALWAYS there. even if he isn't. that's why there's a game about him. he's probably two degrees at most here.
    3. he is. but he does a lot of those movies like "knocked up" and then i think that's what he's really like. i like him better as a clueless simpleton.
    4. totes.
    5. I KNOW, RIGHT?!
    6. damn right you would.
    7. just as long as her husband doesn't make a career out of his role in "something borrowed."
    8. seriously, way to rip off one of your OTHER muppets.
    9. but muppets stay with muppets. WITH OTHER MUPPETS!
    10. wait, i'm not a bro???

    3. oh right...knocked up.
    4. legit.
    5. amen, sistah.
    6. how long before "punch teacher" wins an emmy?
    7. good call. don't do that, john.
    8. at least they didn't rip of bert. that eyebrow. woof.
    9. of course, muppets stay with muppets. what are you proposing? men and puppets to mate? ew. gross.
    10. do you want to me a bro?
