Cute Movie
This one’s a modern (well, early 2000s) Muppet twist on It’s a Wonderful Life. Kermit hits a low point, and through some holiday magic and mayhem, he gets a look at what the world would be like if he’d never existed. Classic setup, but done the Muppet way: full of chaos, cameos, heartfelt moments, and plenty of fourth-wall-breaking nonsense.
The tone is definitely a mix—there’s heart in there, but also a lot of fast-paced comedy, absurd moments, and some sly jabs at pop culture of that era. The Muppets are still themselves: Fozzie’s floundering, Piggy’s extra dramatic, Gonzo’s doing who-knows-what, and Kermit’s trying to hold it all together. It’s got songs, of course, and a few moments that genuinely tug the heartstrings.
It’s not quite the warm-and-fuzzy vintage Muppet stuff like The Muppet Christmas Carol or Muppet Family Christmas, but it’s got its own charm—sort of a chaotic holiday special with a dose of early 2000s.
7/10
