Though hardline detractors of the Muppets' half-Disney, half-Flight of the Conchords, minimally Henson 2011 reboot were largely in the minority, there are a few pointed moments in the ragtag gang's latest romp that seem explicitly aimed at assuaging their complaints. When Walter, the whistling dynamo but otherwise nondescript newbie Muppet protagonist from the earlier film, hightails it out of the felt frat's fold to rescue a wrongly imprisoned Kermit, one of the seasoned puppets muses how he could abandon them after "all that time we spent with him." Rizzo the Rat concurs: "Yeah, some would say at the expense of other, more well-established Muppets."

In fact, the balances are checked right from the get-go. As the crew launches into the musical number "We're Doing a Sequel" as though it marks uncharted territory for them, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew stops everyone down to point out that their current enterprise actually marks their eighth feature-film venture. The interjection is a tossed-off bit of preschool meta in a manner that's far truer to the classic Muppet spirit, and characteristic of why Muppets Most Wanted, for all its borrowed and recycled gags, is a far more satisfying tribute to Jim Henson's legacy than its predecessor. Instead of flexing their credentials, writer-director James Bobin, screenwriter Nicholas Stoller, and songwriter Bret McKenzie here yield to the strength of the franchise's ensemble. The problem with the previous film wasn't so much that it ignored Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and the rest.
What left a sour aftertaste was the condescending sense that the filmmakers (working closely with star Jason Segal) were on a kind of rescue mission, as though the Muppets were some sort of charity case in need of an update for millennials.What they failed to realize was that the Muppets have always been, from the very first episode of their variety TV show, a knowingly dated vaudeville act.(Download Muppets Most Wanted) As canny as the reboot was about providing a taxonomy of Muppet fandom to reflect the feelings of the generation that's never known a world without them, its ambition plainly didn't walk the walk. That's why it's almost a relief when, very early on, Muppets Most Wanted reveals itself to be a relatively unaspiring variation of The Great Muppet Caper jewel-heist antics. Having been reunited, Kermit and the rest are left wondering where to take their act. Enter Ricky Gervais as Dominic Badguy (pronounced "Bad-gee," because it's French, of course), an agent who helps them book a string of engagements in Europe.
All the while, he's plotting to snatch the crown jewels at the Tower of London alongside criminal mastermind and recent gulag escapee Constantine, who looks almost exactly like Kermit if you simply cover up his mole.(Download Muppets Most Wanted) Constantine not so comfortably slips into Kermit's role as the revue trudges on, garnering suspiciously great reviews.Freed from the burden of starting anew, Muppets Most Wanted restores the Muppets' rightful place as stars of their own show. (That interloper Walter is mercifully demoted to a supporting role, where his tedious Prairie-Dawn-in--drag mannerisms can do very little damage.) The songs are sharper and appropriately dated pastiches (everything from Paul Williams to the brothers Gibb), the gags are more charmingly junky, and the star cameos are more unforced in the spirit of the first wave of Muppet movies. It's clear that the spirit of ironic reinvention was what seduced so many last time out, but even this script's stabs at self-mockery are sharper.
When Kermit, having been framed by Constantine and shipped back to the gulag, is eventually reunited with Walter, Fozzie, and Animal, he's outraged they couldn't tell the difference between him and the lackadaisical,(Download Muppets Most Wanted) stage fright-prone charlatan who mangles Kermit's signature greeting so that it comes out more like a strained "Hey-yo!" Their shrugging nonchalance to the clear difference in their vocal cadence not only rings true to anyone who's followed the many casting changes these characters have had to endure over the years, but also epitomizes this low-stakes follow-up's breezy charisma.Everybody knows that the sequel’s never quite as good,” sing our fluffy friends during the opening number of a film with much to live up to after 2011’s terrific reboot, The Muppets. The joke proves self-fulfilling—but first, a little plot: Muppets Most Wanted concerns a world tour run by new manager Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais). In short order, Kermit is replaced by evil doppelgänger Constantine; meanwhile, the real Kermit is imprisoned in a Russian gulag run by Nadya (Tina Fey).
A pair of Interpol agents (Ty Burrell and Sam the Eagle) investigate.On the upside, there’s the usual cozy Muppet mix of character humor, situation comedy, farce, satire and wordplay. Fey has one too many musical numbers but shares good chemistry with Kermit. And it’s amusing to see the likes of Danny Trejo prancing around a gulag.Yet this follow-up misses the genial charm of The Muppets stars Amy Adams and Jason Segel (the latter is also notably absent from the writing credits). Still,(Download Muppets Most Wanted) it’s easy to forgive when there’s another one-liner around the corner—and Miss Piggy’s costume changes are a show in themselves.For a certain generation, and for the children they insist on imbuing with their nostalgia, the successful reboot of "The Muppets" back in 2011 was cause for genuine celebration. Writers Nicholas Stoller and Jason Segel and director James Bobin managed to capture the absurd irreverence of Jim Henson's creations as well as their inherent sweetness, and the original songs from Bret McKenzie were spot-on.
Now the same creative team (except Segel) is back for the inevitable follow-up, but can "Muppets Most Wanted" sustain the feel-good magic?Not completely, it turns out. The film picks up directly following the finale of "The Muppets," with Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and all the rest reunited and triumphant.(Download Muppets Most Wanted) They immediately launch into a metafictional opening song about the difficulty of mounting a sequel, which is more amusing to media-savvy grown-ups than the kids in the crowd, and feels like an oddly defensive jumping-off point.Once the story proper begins, it too feels slightly out of time. Constantine, the "world's most dangerous frog" and a dead ringer for Kermit other than a distinctive mole, escapes from a Siberian gulag. Meanwhile, an unctuous talent agent named Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais) -- "it's pronounced bahd-gee," he tells them -- convinces the Muppets to embark on a world tour.
Turns out that Badguy is Constantine's right-hand man. The evil amphibian soon secretly takes Kermit's place and, using the Muppets world tour as cover, begins a series of robberies across Europe. As this is going on, Kermit ends up in Constantine's Russian prison cell, where the commandant (Tina Fey, very sporting) puts him in charge of the annual gulag revue.None of the Muppets (except the ever-perceptive Animal) notice Constantine's Boris Badenov accent or question his abruptly changed personality, which understandably rankles Kermit later on.(Download Muppets Most Wanted) Some of the movie's best gags come from the pairing of extremely French Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon (Ty Burrell) and CIA officer Sam Eagle, assigned to investigate the thefts, which culminate with an attempt on the British Crown Jewels.This description makes "Muppets Most Wanted" sound overplotted, and it is, but there are still enough moments of anarchy (including Gonzo's staging of an "indoor running of the bulls") to rank it as a perfectly acceptable family matinee.
The longstanding Muppet tradition of endless celebrity cameos is reliably diverting, with Christoph Waltz, Saoirse Ronan and Salma Hayek popping up alongside the amusing trio of Danny Trejo, Ray Liotta and Jemaine Clement (McKenzie's erstwhile "Flight of the Conchords" bandmate) as Kermit's fellow gulag residents. And Usher plays an usher, so there's that.Walter, the newest Muppet,(Download Muppets Most Wanted) who was introduced in the 2011 movie, is still around, but without much purpose. (There's a nice gag about the marginalization of Kermit's adorable nephew Robin.) Steve Whitmire (Kermit) and Eric Jacobson (Miss Piggy, Fozzie) will always operate in the shadow of Henson and Frank Oz, but they've also been voicing those characters and many others long enough to have established them as their own.It might not be long before the same can be said of Bobin and Stoller. They've resuscitated a beloved franchise, and now they've made a decent enough follow-up. If Quentin Tarantino cameos and animated infantilism can be avoided, the Muppets could be in good hands for years to come.
