Beyond that it helps to have some idea what to ask, and it’s certainly considered a bit [...]




The Muppets Review

the-muppets

Co-writer and star Jason Segel and director James Bobin courageously embraced the arduous task of recapturing the magic of The Muppets for a new generation, safe in the knowledge that the adult ‘kids’ out there who remember the show first time around would only need a few bars of Sam Pottle and Jim Henson’s iconic [...]
