REVIEW: Walter, a muppet, and his human brother Gary
live in Smalltown, USA and have always been big fans of The Muppet Show. When
Gary plans a trip to Los Angeles for his ten year anniversary with his
girlfriend Mary, naturally he invites Walter along so that they can tour the
Muppet Studios. Gary and Walter find out that the Muppet studios will be
destroyed unless the Muppets can raise 10 million dollars. The two set out to
reunite the Muppets and save the studio, but at the cost of Gary’s relationship
with Mary. Gary, Walter and the Muppets join forces to save the studios and
true love.
OPINION: The Muppets are an American Classic and
this reboot will appeal to seasoned Muppet fans, as well as the younger
generation that may not be as familiar.
IDEAS: Watch the movie and then use it as inspiration to put on a Muppets-style variety show featuring your students or TAG members.
