So, I don’t love taking my kids to the theater. It’s hard work and I think 6 is really when kids start to enjoy a movie theater, which is still about 2 years away for my youngest. Still, there are certain movies I’m willing to make the effort for.
When we began making plans for this Thanksgiving I decided part of the fun should be seeing the new Muppet film. I admit, I doubt my kids were as excited as us “grownups”. But Muppets have always been such a fun for the whole family type of entertainment, I was sure we would all enjoy ourselves.
The Muppets reunite to put on a show and save their theater and home. So, the plot is thin, but wonderfully executed. They have some great new songs. “Man or Muppet” and a version of Cee-lo Green’s “Forget You” sung by Gonzo’s Chickens had everyone laughing (I downloaded them too and were still laughing at the chickens). Plus, they threw Kermit in a boat and did “Rainbows” for all us old saps.
My kids had fun. We adults were happy. Mission Accomplished.
