I love the Muppets.
No, really, dudes. They are absolutely the funniest assemblage of talent ever wrapped in velvet or fabric or whatever.
They make me laugh just standing there, without moving.
Which makes the fact that they’re starring in a new heist movie, in which the most dangerous criminal in the world is a two-foot-tall frog made of green felt and bears a striking resemblance to one The Frog, Kermit, just about the most hilarious thing ever. And the fact that said criminal’s catchphrase, uttered in an appalling European accent, is, “It’s nooooot easy beingk. . . mean.” makes this fall-down-laughing funny.
It was one of the low points of my life when the last Muppets movie came out and I couldn’t convince any of my young dudes to go with me to the movies. Because, let’s face it, all the mothers in the audience look more than a little askance at any dude who goes to kiddie shows without a kiddie. So I had to watch it when it came out on video and, dudes, that’s just not the same.
This time, though. . . This time I’m going to see the Muppets in the theater if I have to hog-tie Hyper Lad and drag him there with me. I mean, just look at the trailer here and tell me you would be able to resist it.
You can’t. The movie is irresistible. Watch and fall under its power.
I’ll see you at the movies.
Enjoy.
