I loved how they handled the Selena Gomez cameo. When I saw her all I could think was "does this girl even know who the Muppets are??" and she just says "yeah I have no idea who the Muppets are, my agent just told me to be here". Perfect.

Opening 10-15 minutes = pure happiness and fun. Middle plot bit = a bit slow End 45 mins or so = hilarious.

The "Destroy Plumbing Business" gag was the first thing in a while to leave me completely in stitches.

"Why does everybody forget about Hobo Joe?"

Almost pissed myself at that line. Barely managed to not sob like a baby when Kermit and Piggy sang "Rainbow Connection". Been humming "Man or a Muppet" ever since. I will be seeing this movie again.

Did any one else get a kick out of 80's Robot? "Would any one like a soda... Tab, or New Coke?"

I want to go see it again! Jason Segel obviously loves the Muppets to have helped create something that great.

New show?

f_zzyslippers · 5 months

Excellent movie for muppet fans. A few minor nitpicky flaws (No dialogue for Rizzo, no new Electric Mayhem songs) but overall I enjoyed it and plan to see it again at least once.

Yeah, that first song may just be my first dance with the husband at the wedding reception.

I want the tv show back now. Even Disney's Muppets Tonight wasn't terrible...

I just saw this movie about an hour ago and I left with one major thought: "Why is The Muppet Show not on Sunday nights anymore???" TV needs this show back on!!

The cameos were great. Alan Arkin, John Krasinski, Whoopi Goldberg, Rico Rodriguez, Zach Galifianakis, Judd Hirsch, Willie Nelson, Sarah Silverman, Jim Parsons, Donald Glover, NPH, and my favorite Dave Grohl as 'Animool' in the 'Moopets'.

I've heard a lot of good things about this movie but is it really quality or just childhood memories are making it better?

I cried so many happy tears watching this movie. I don't remember the last time I was so happy in a movie theater. Can't wait to buy this and watch it daily

soth09 · 5 months

I'm happy for the mup love, but I've seen 5 or 6 posts Daily about it. Its bordering on viral marketing.

And I saw the original at the drive in. For clarity.

I kept expecting Steve Martin to show up, otherwise, an excellent movie, took my 14 and 16 year old kids and they loved it too. Can't wait to go see Hugo in 3D tomorrow!

As a guy in his mid-twenties, it feels like I'd be a bit old to go see this movie by myself. Am I correct?

Everyone should definitely buy the soundtrack, if only for the Tex Richman song.

I will believe it when I see it.

biggbuckz · 5 months

I know more or less nothing about the muppets (but did watch muppet babies when I was a kid)... is it worth seeing? As far as I can tell in the comments, nostalgia is playing the biggest part in it being good.

godofallcows · 5 months

My cheeks are sore from laughing in this movie. All the small things just made me bust out and love this movie. Sadly the entire theater did not get the humor or find it funny and I was alone with a friend laughing the entire time. Haters gonna hate, the Smells Like Teen Spirit scene had me in tears, even if the 10 year olds in the audience didn't understand it.

bcda12 · 5 months

man, this movie took me by surprised. I went in not expecting much but WOW.

I laughed, I was nearly brought to tears and my mood just went way up through the roof. It was quite possibly one of the best movies I've ever seen. I never laughed this hard at a movie in ages. it totally hit every single note in terms of humor. Not to mention the fact that it didn't modernize the Muppets. The way that they were portrayed as the classic characters that we know and love was just too perfect. If I were to EVER meet the writers in person, no words would express how thankful I am that this movie was made.

absolute masterpiece!

I went to see it with my girlfriend's family which included her 4 year old nephew. It was a 1:30p matinee and there were a ton of similarly aged children there. The adults loved it and spent most of the movie laughing. The kids in the theatre were so bored that they were running up and down the aisles by about the halfway point. My girlfriend's nephew was crying about two-thirds of the way through because he wanted to leave.

I honestly loved it and was excited when they were singing the opening song, but I would caution everyone thinking of bringing small children. This is the Muppet Show and not Sesame Street.

There was also a list of about 5 or 6 things that I would have changed, but I believe that my bitching allowance has been exceeded for today.

Apparently all of /r/movies has already seen it because every comment so far is an inside joke about the movie.

becbot · 5 months

Couldn't stop smiling the whole time... I think what is so great about it is that it just leans into the cheesiness and nostalgia of it all, which actually keeps it from being cheesy (if that makes sense?) I think it may be my new favorite movie

Either way, I hope this brings a renaissance of Muppet everything!

This is the second highly upvoted post for the Muppets this weekend, I'm thinking this is viral marketing. Why not? They've marketed everywhere else.

Whats with the weird cameos? anyone notice a "brazil" homage in there?

zacharybab · 5 months

can I just point out how awkward it was seeing Jason Segel being such a different character than he usually is.

WildYorkies · 5 months

I liked Jason Segal, but humans should only be secondary characters. We want to see Muppets! They are the charming ones!

Anyone else think Amy Adams was looking like she gained a few lbs?

This was such a well done film, I loved it from start to finish. It was just a plain fun ride. Jason Segal handled this material so expertly it was fantastic. The end had me scratching my head a bit. It seemed a bit abrupt and confusing. It was just the way they packaged it really. Nonetheless the I still loved the whole movie.
