Social Mom Review of The Muppets Movie by Rachel Long


As any parent knows, it is hard to please all your children on an outing. The new Muppets movie kept our entire family entertained. It was wonderful to see all the old Muppet characters with some new ones added. Walter is a Muppet that dreams of meeting the Muppets he sees on TV. His brother, Gary played by Jason Segal and his girlfriend, Mary played by Amy Adams plan a trip to Hollywood. Walter joins them so he can visit the Muppet Studios. When they arrive at the studios they find a building falling apart that everyone has forgotten about. While they are there, Walter overhears Tex Richman, a wealthy oil tycoon talking about how he plans to drill under the theatre for oil, not turn it into a Muppet Museum as he leads everyone to believe. Walter, Gary and Mary track down Kermit and the rest of the Muppet gang to help save the theatre. 80’s music is infused throughout the movie as well as cameos from stars like Selena Gomez, Whoopie Goldberg and Jim Parsons. The Muppets is a terrific movie choice for the holiday season.
