More than 30 years after they first made the leap from TV to the big screen, The Muppets have a new movie out and, thanks in large part to star/co-writer Jason Segel, it’s not only a great nostalgia trip for longtime fans of the felt and fur performers, but a neat way to introduce the gang to a generation who don’t know who they are. The Muppets have always been a perfect blend of sweet irreverence that’s equally unafraid to step way out on a ledge for a joke or wear its heart on its sleeve. Segel gets that, and the wide-eyed grin plastered on his face throughout most of the movie is clear evidence that he’s not only having the time of his life acting alongside The Muppets, but that he’s also very proud of the fact that he’s been able to give The Muppets the showcase they deserve. The extras included with the disc are funny enough to stand on their own, especially The Longest Blooper Reel Ever Made.
