I don't write movie reviews. I know what I like and what I don't like. For the most part I'm pretty easy going when it comes to movies. I usually like what I see, but don't ever really have a big connection to them. Notable exceptions to this would be "Raiders of the Lost Ark" the original "Star Wars" trilogy, and other big flicks of my youth.
"The Muppets" is now one of those movies. I am a product of the Muppet generation and all I can say about the new movie is that I could not stop smiling the whole way through it. To be able to take a product that is over 30 years old, make it relevant today (like referencing that it is referencing itself as a movie), but still feel like it did all those years ago, is truly amazing.
I was very excited to go see this movie with my 6 year old daughter. I came out of the movie even happier than when I walked in. If that isn't a testament to the power and quality of this movie then I don't know what is.

I was grinning like a fool for soooo much of it. Good times.
