I was lucky enough to see this at the Tribeca Film Festival recently. I grew up watching the Muppet Show and I wanted to show my kids how great and lovable the characters are.
Honestly, this isn't as good as 'Muppets Take Manhattan' or 'The Great Muppet Caper', but it was highly enjoyable fun for me and my kids. There were a lot of laughs, and my children were never restless, which isn't something that happens very often at the movies.
As for the cast, I wasn't very impressed with Ashanti as a performer, but I don't think anyone sees a Muppet movie to enjoy the human performances.
That said, I thought Jeffrey Tambor and Queen Latifah were actually wonderful.
They just don't make movies like these anymore. If you are a parent, this should be the sort of film you take your kids to see. It's fun and entertaining for both kids and moms and dads.
