Tony Toscano Reviews The Muppets

The plot of the new “Muppets” movie is an old one borrowed from a dozen 40’s movies like “Babes in Arms” and “Strike Up The Band.”
In their newest outing, the Muppet Theater is going to be sold and The Muppets must get together one last time to save it from the bulldozer.
On board for the fun are Amy Adams and Jason Segel (who also co-wrote the screenplay) as a pair of small town dreamers who come to Hollywood to find their idols.
The Muppets are still as corny and as silly as we remember them, which makes the film a wonderful throwback and completely enjoyable for the whole family.
I’m giving “The Muppets” a B.
It’s rated PG
