Feature Film Review
‘The Muppets’ directed by James Bobin and written by Jason Segel & Nicholas Stoller based on Jim Henson’s Muppet characters. It stars Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Chris Cooper, Rashida Jones and all the Muppet regulars.

Our Verdict: Awesome fun for all audiences. This IS the feel good film of 2011.

Lists of Five:
This week our Lists of Five: Five Great Movie Puppets. How could we not do this list considering the film we reviewed?!?!
Just a reminder, because we never like to just make things easy on ourselves, our lists are not necessarily top five lists, they are more or a less a list of film recommendations within the theme of the list.
