Die Muppets

It's bad enough when you watch human actors doing a movie or a sequel that is obviously being done out of an ulterior motive, but with a bunch of F-in muppets?!?! Does the Henson estate owe taxes or are they losing their property? (which is the ridiculous premise of this movie) I really thought Segel would have done something special with this because of all of the attention given to his interests in this field and the fact that he put together a muppet-type play of his own. No! And!, he had someone help him with it as well (Stoller). I was even in a good mood when I rented it, expecting a new revitalized movie from a zealot in this field of entertainment. A random pick out of a lottery ball of kids' scripts would have been better than this, and because of this, my interest in Segel went far down. Cameos and "you sing it, audience!" are sure signs that the artist isn't secure with what is being performed and there are so many cameos that it even outshines the completely apathetic humor. Statler and Waldorf couldn't even trash this movie properly, and it's too bad because all of the resources were there.
