It's a very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie
Created: 15/12/06
"It's a very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" has all the usual suspects: Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fonzie, Animal, etc., plus David Arquette, Joan Cusack, Whoopi Goldberg,the voice of Mel Brooks and others, including cameos by the cast of "Scrubs."
It is Christmas Eve and Kermit and the rest of the Muppet Theater owe quite a lot of money to Mrs. Bitterman, played by Joan Cusack. If they don't pay in full, she will reposses the theater. They put on a great show, make enough money, but Fonzie gets waylaid trying to get the money to her. He misses the deadline. How they resolve the problem with the help of devine intervention, and find out what Christmas and friends are all about, is what the rest of the film is all about.
There are the usual Muppet antics, and the interaction between live actors and puppets works well here, as in the other Muppet movies. To be honest, it isn't as good as many of the earlier ones, such as "Muppets from Space", or
The Christmas Carol", but it still is pretty good. Miss Piggy does a nice impersonation of Madona's "Santa Baby" Christmas song. And we have a good scene with the old Theater Critics that adults will remember from the TV series.
In addition, it has several entertaining special features. Inside Pepe's studio is a behind the scenes look at the making of the film. And there are some funny outakes/bloopers and deleted scenes that are pretty good as well. Rated PG ("for mild thematic elements"?!!), it is suitable for any age.
Bottom line, if you are a fan of any previous Muppet movie, you are going to enjoy this one as well. In any case, the kids will like it.

Gotta love the Muppets!!

I really like this movie. I love anything the Muppets put out. This isn't my favorite of theirs though, not even my favorite of their Christmas movies. The Muppet's Christmas Carol is 10 times better in my opinion but this is a very cute,funny and smart movie for kids and grown-ups of all ages!!
