Film: ‘The Muppets’
When the Muppets’ old theater falls into the hands of a greedy oil tycoon, the old puppet gang and three dedicated fans must set aside long-buried conflicts and hurt feelings to save their former home. But will their efforts be enough? “The Muppets” is the brainchild of “How I Met Your Mother” star and Muppet enthusiast Jason Segel, who saw his current and childhood dreams realized when Disney asked him to helm the project. The movie stars Segel, Amy Adams, Kermit the Frog, and, of course, Miss Piggy.
