I guess I’m puerile and easily amused because I adored the trailer and it looks like something right up my alley. My alley being someone who owns the Greg the Bunny series on DVD.

I take it back. This movie blows. The funniest parts were in the trailer. It was a great concept but I don’t know where it fell flat. If it was the acting, the writing, the directing, the editing. Maybe a combo of all four. It wasn’t the worst movie I’ve ever seen, but it was a giant mess.

I wish they’d bring back _DC Follies_.

I can’t think of a more perfect time to bring back DC Follies.

Exactly! Paging Sid and Marty.

Also, here’s another dark muppet piece in the spirit of the above posted _I’ve Grown Accustomed to your Face_.
