The Muppets return to the big screen in this fun and nostalgic retread of the classic franchise. It's not quite a homerun, but "The Muppets" does enough to wet the appetite of longtime fans who grew up with these characters. However, it runs a little too much on nostalgia and probably won't win very many new fans. The original songs by Bret McKenzie of "Flight of the Conchords" fame are fantastic and add a fresh element to the tried-and-true Muppet formula, but if you weren't into the Muppets growing up, they probably aren't enough to justify the price of admission. If you were, this is a pretty good stroll down memory lane.
