How stupid and or cynical some people are. I grew up watching the original show and the movies and they were good for that time. What worked in the 70's/80's wouldn't work today, so those saying that this isn't like the orignal: you're right, it's not, nor should it be. This movie was perfect for 2011. I know humor is subjective, but to say you didn't laugh once means the jokes went right over your head or you truly have no soul. I thought it was a brilliant way to bring the Muppets back and introduce them to a new generation. It maintained the vibe of the original show without copying and pasting (which is apparently what some people wanted) and was its own thing. I especially how the human actors spoofed the sitcom acting from some shows of the 50's and 60's. And the sight gags were bang on. I am a huge fan of James Bobin and his brand of humor (Flight of the Conchords is one of my favorite shows of all time), and it could be a "you get it or you don't" situation for some. I get it and I love it and I thought this movie was lovely.
