My review · Reviewed 05/02/2016
Of all of the films that I watched with my children over the years, this was our favorite. Of course, they knew nothing of the history of the muppets - that was something that added to my enjoyment. The franchise had really fallen into disrepair over the years until this gem came along. Every note in this film is perfect - it is touching, funny, and has a great story. I would watch Segel (the writer of the story) and Adams all day long. And the music.... wow! I still remember the opening notes of "I've got everything that I need" - my son and I would look each other and I would pick him up and dance around with him. Magical memories.
