Such a Sad Statement of Muppet Affairs...The Weakest Of The Muppet Line, 24 March 2007
3/10
Author: Fiendish_Dramaturgy from .: Fiendish Writings in the Dark :.

Jim, Jim, wherefore art thou, Jim! I have to say this was the first time I was genuinely disappointed by any Muppet movie. This was nothing more than a tribute to the next little pop star, Ashanti, and it made it feel like a selling out of all things Muppet. This work was pretty weak, the adaptation itself was horrendous, and the acting was ... (I hate to say it) sad.

I hope with all My little Muppet Heart, that Brian does something innovative and GOOD to give us something back from this horrendous disappointment.

Yes, it really WAS that bad. *sighs* It rates a 3.4/10 from...

the Fiend :.
