Funny story there. I was planning on going to see The Grand Budapest Hotel, but it sold out. So my friends and I went to see Muppets Most Wanted instead, a film we all wanted to see. A golly was it the best squeal to ever grace a cinema screen. With the first musical number that broke the fourth wall and lower your expectations while sining about how ludicrous squeals are. Then bragging about how many Muppets squeals there have been! (seven)
So the basic plot is the Dominic Badguy has proposed to the newly reunited Muppet Crew that they go on a world tour in order to become popular on an international level. Which obviously they agree to, but Kermit is arrested! Yet, nobody knows that besides animal. Although he and Tina Fey have a wonderful number together! Oh, by the way this movie is not only longer then the last, but has way more musical numbers that are catchy and really clever. So if you are not into musicals, I suggest against going to this film straight away. Now, since this film is made for younger audiences and is a muppet movie -making it known for plots that are handed over to you on a silver platter in the very beginning- some may find it a tad bit non absorbing at times. Though heres a fun game, count how many cameos there are! since there is a load, 29 to be exact.
And HUGE FLIPPING SPOILER HERE, but the sole reason why this film was made so that the could have Usher be The Usher. The pun was perfect and everyone practically suffocated from laughter. The only real thing that I found a bit bamboozling was to see most of the Muppets walking and even dancing. It took me out sometimes since it looked really odd and I'd even say awkward.
Now, since the Grand Budapest Hotel is such a hit I totally suggest this movie as an alternative. Its light hearted and funny, with little quirky details that just keep you giggling. Now, be sure to bring friends. Since this is defiantly one of those movies you would want to whisper into there ear. Most of mine consisting of, "I love this song!" or "I love him/her!" and "That pun!" Plus the sub plots were adorable and just a blast.
So race to the theater everybody!
