Man or Muppet?

As a child, I absolutely LOVED The Muppets movies. And as an adult, I may actually love them even more.  It’s hard to say, which movie is my favorite.  I am a big fan of Muppet Treasure Island, although I am pretty sure that The Great Muppet Caper was probably the movie that got the most viewings from me as a kid.  But the most recent addition to the series, The Muppets, starring Jason Segel and Amy Adams gives each of those films a run for their money.  In many ways this movie was an homage to all of the older films and the late 70′s run TV show. Very whimsical and very fun, and one of the best parts of the movie were the musical numbers.  Thanks to the help of Bret McKenzie (Flight of the Conchords) the movie is filled with some very witty and melodic sing-a-longs, including the Oscar-nominated “Man or Muppet”.  It’s an awesome ballad that finds our two main characters at a crossroads, needing to find their identity, and make a decision. It’s the climax of the film and has a pretty unexpected and awesome cameo by the hilarious Jim Parsons (Big Bang Theory).  If you are a fan of the Muppets, then The Muppets is a must see.  And despite what Fox News might try to make you believe, it’s great family-friendly movie.
