Muppets Most Wanted (2014)

Director: James Bobin
Starring: Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell, Tina Fey
Certificate: U
Genre: Comedy
Awards: None


After the muppet's resurrection in 2011, there was always going to be another film. Yet with Jason Segel stepping out, nobody really knew where it would go. What we eventually get is a story about Kermit being replaced by a criminal mastermind so that he can steal the crown jewels with cameos and musical numbers aplenty.

Muppets Most Wanted has some great parts - Ty Burrell's interpol inspector and sam the Eagle almost steal the show - yet it all feels a bit too thinly spread. With all the characters given their own little stories, nobody is given that much time to shine.

However, Muppets Most Wanted is an entertaining and fun film which may not match up to its predecessor but does not fail to keep its audience happy.

****Good
