THE ASTOR REVIEW

It would be easy to acclaim the merit of nostalgia, but it’s more than that – the new Muppets movie is simply one of the most fun, witty, and smile-till-your-mouth-hurts movies in the last couple of years – period. Everything is pitch perfect, exhilarating with lashes of satire that The Muppets were originally famous for. There’s plenty of in jokes, plus jabs at The Muppets themselves and a shopping list of brilliant cameos. “It’s time play the music! It’s time to light the lights!” AB
