The Muppets' Wizard of Oz (2005 TV Movie)
6/10
Hmmmm..Tough, Very Tough (SPOILERS)

I do not know what exactly to give it. It was a fun version of the classic the Wizard of Oz, but yet there were moments that were unbearable to watch. This would be a good film to give a six, but yet there were some scenes that could be a nine or eight. Meh, six will have to do. Anyway, this is a nice and fun adaption of the delightful story, and there were also pop culture references, such as the Dark Side Of The Moon reference. I think you know what I mean.

Here is the plot of this made-for-TV movie. It is pretty obvious what the plot is. It is basically the story of the Wizard of Oz with the Muppets in it. Dorothy gets whisked away to Oz with her prawn. She goes on a journey to find the Wizard of Oz for she wants to become a famous singer. Then, the plot is pretty much the original Wizard of Oz. However, the Flying Monkeys were a biker gang and it was not a dream.

Overall, this is an average made-for-TV movie. Also, even though it was totally unnecessary, I liked Quentin Tarantino's cameo when Dorothy fights the Wicked Witch of the West. It was completely unnecessary and totally random but it was still funny. I still want to know why the Flying Monkeys were a biker gang. This is not the Wiz! Anyway, there are some petty differences from this and the novel, not to mention the movie, but it should not be just like the original.

6/10
