The Muppet Movie
1979
Directed by James Frawley
Continuing my campaign of killing buzzes, we come to the Muppets. I never got the appeal of the Muppets and can safely say after seeing this film that I still haven't.
Kermit takes a road trip to Los Angeles in order to make a movie. He meets many quirky Muppet and human characters along the way. Songs are song. Orson Welles makes an appearance. I feel like I am describing a really bad trip I had.
I think there are plenty of children's movies that can be enjoyable for adults. This is not one of those movies. I couldn't even enjoy the songs since they were sung in such obnoxious voices. I just can't get into puppets. Boyfriend loves the Muppets and one of our phone calls ended quite tersely when I said I didn't. Oh well.
RATING: **---
Interesting Facts:
Bob Hope and Steve Martin both made cameos in this film.
Never. Liked.Muppets.
