Review of The Muppets

While I love Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo and the other muppets of all shapes and sizes because it has been such a loooooong time since I last saw them, and that Amy Adams and Jason Segel are utterly adorable (watch especially for Adams' and Miss Piggy's rendition of Me Party), that the finale "Rainbow Connection" can cause teary eyes, and the cameos by Jack Black, Whoopi Goldberg, Selena Gomez, Emily Blunt, amongst others, are priceless and thoroughly entertaining, one can't wipe off the feeling that The Muppets is going to be no more than a one-off nostalgic ride down memory lane for those who grew up with them, and as much it is a tribute to Jim Henson, is unfortunately largely irrelevant to today's kids who grew up on a diet of CGI, coolness and cell phones. The age of technology, the dearth of nostalgia.
