Jason Segel does in 90 minutes what many have tried to do for years: revive The Muppets. Gone are the gimmicks (in space, Treasure Island, Gonzo and his rats) and instead we go back to what made these guys fun. Everyone from Kermit to the balcony geezers are back along with a story that is simple enough for the kids who are new to the gang yet witty enough for us who grew up with them. By the time they sing “rainbow connection” near the end, you'll feel like a kid again. This one is a joy to watch.
