Review
Our Score
by
Leslie Felperin
Endearing self-deprecation is one of the key weapons in the Muppets' arsenal of charm: they're always putting themselves down a little (apart from Miss Piggy, that is). So perhaps we, as an audience, are meant to demur when they sing about how this film is a sequel and therefore not quite as good as the last one - but alas it's true. There's a goodly quantity of amusing gags but fewer belly laughs this time round, and a lot more star cameos, as if to distract attention away from the unravelling plot. When Kermit gets mistaken for mastermind Russian criminal Constantine, he's sent to a gulag overseen by a hammy Tina Fey. Meanwhile, his dastardly doppelganger goes on a European tour with the rest of the gang, which provides the perfect cover for Constantine and sidekick Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais) to carry out a heist. One duff instalment won't kill this relaunched franchise, but it's also unlikely to prove quite as much of a favourite with instinctively discriminating kids.
Summary
Premiere. The Muppets prepare to head off on a world tour, unaware that Kermit has been replaced by an evil genius who is his exact double. As the dastardly interloper uses the gang's performances as cover for an international crime spree, the real Kermit is left languishing in a Russian prison. Comedy, starring Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey and Ty Burrell.
