Muppets: Most Wanted - review and trailer
The follow-up to the batty 2011 hit The Muppets
Director: Asghar Farhadi; starring: Tahar Rahim, Berenice Bejo, Ali Moaffa
(12A, 130mins)
Muppets Most Wanted is a jovial follow-up to 2011’s engagingly batty The Muppets, with some great musical numbers, fun locations as the Muppets tour Europe and a ridiculous number of star cameos (Lady Gaga, Tom Hiddleston, James McAvoy, Hugh Bonneville, Celine Dion, the list is endless).

However, some of the zany charm and simple, warm-hearted humor is missing thanks to an over-extended plot and too much focus on the baddie, the Muppet’s new manager, played by Ricky Gervais, who is using the Muppets tour as cover for pulling off a series of heists.
Young children’s attention may wander.
VERDICT: 3/5
