The Muppets (2011)
Directed by James Bobin this film stars Jason Segel, Amy Adams and all your favourite muppets. An evil oil baron wants to take over the muppet's studio so he can drill for oil, can our heroes save the $10mil needed to buy back their studio?
What this film has going for it is that at no point does it ever take itself seriously, combining the usual silly antics with a great level of self awareness that fits the universe the muppets exist in. The plot is simplistic and largely aimed at younger viewers but there is the odd joke for older viewers that slips through here and there. Overall the personality of the film just about holds it together and while this may not be a classic, it is not a bad watch.
4/5
