The Muppets

The Muppet Theatre is old and washed up, and the Muppets have all gone their separate ways.  In one last effort to salvage the theatre and the Muppet legacy, Kermit tries to reunite the gang and stage a telethon of the old "Muppet Show" to raise the $10 Million need to save the theatre from the evil oilman Tex Richman, who wants to knock down the theatre and drill for oil underneath it.

Well this definitely paid homage to the original Muppet Show as well as the original Muppet Movie.  Nevertheless it wasn't exactly fabulous. Mostly because there is this horrifically annoying side story with Gary (Jason Segel), Mary (Amy Adams), and Walter (random muppet). Unlike the original movies that revolve around the Muppets and have the multiple fun cameos through out the film. This one seems the opposite, where the story revolves around the stupid Walter character and the Muppets make the cameos. Not really but they obviously are not the center story and that is completely unacceptable.

If they had taken out that whole, Mary, Gary, Walter side nonsense this would have been great, but sadly it wasn't.
