We received a copy of Muppets Most Wanted on Blu-ray Combo Pack to watch and review. Here is what we thought of the film. Opinions are 100% our own.
The kids, or rather, Eva, didn’t want to watch The Muppets Most Wanted. She told us that she does not like The Muppets. My wife was a bit crushed at hearing that because she LOVES The Muppets. So, we watched Muppets Most Wanted without the kids. It was a great decision since we could watch everything and not miss a joke because of the kids yelling or asking questions. There were plenty of great jokes in this movie, too. I personally liked it more than the previous Muppets Movie. While I liked that one I liked Muppets Most Wanted much more.

Tina Fey is Nadya a guard in The Gulag where Kermit ends up after he’s bamboozled by Constantine. And rounding out the human cast is Ty Burell from Modern family as Jean Pierre Napoleon an inspector on the trail of a number of robberies and there are some great moments between he and Sam the Eagle.
