Not Enough Muppets, And Too Many Songs
JLFM - wrote on 04/12/2012
The Muppet Christmas Carol is not nearly as good as I was expecting and hoping, but it's still a lot of fun.
One thing I should clarify, is that if you came to see the muppets, you will probably be disappointed. This film is all about Scrooge, who is played by a very human Michael Caine. This is truly, the biggest flaw in The Muppet Christmas Carol, because with the muppets getting so little screen time then they deserve, this adaption of the Dicken's story doesn't have much to separate itself from other adaptions.
Gonzo narrates, and Rizzo the Rat is there to make jokes. This potentially amusing duo isn't very funny, and is only there to move the story along. In fact, they feel a lot like filler.
And speaking of filler, did I mention all the songs in this movie? I believe …
