Review of The Muppets

It was everything I wanted and more. So many excellent and silly performances, and the musical numbers really hit on all cylinders.
Did I cry? Yes, yes I did.

I saw this with our two kids, my aunt and cousin on the big screen, and it just shattered me. The Muppets, starting with Sesame Street and then "graduating" to The Muppet Show and movies, were one of the biggest parts of my childhood, and provided a foundation to much of what I think about entertainment, comedy, music, and storytelling. This straightforward story of "getting the gang back together" paired with the humor and heart created a nostalgia bomb that did make me tear up several times.
