Going to the movies this time of year is always sketchy, so I was - TopicsExpress



          

Going to the movies this time of year is always sketchy, so I was pleased to see two funny (though very different) films this week. The first is Muppets Most Wanted, the sequel of the reboot from two and half years ago. This one is much more like the TV show, with scenes of their variety show, plus musical numbers. It has an actual plot with funny turns by Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais, and Ty Burrell as the primary humans. I found myself nostalgic for the old TV show. Also, Animal (my favorite Muppet) is one of the heroes again! The second movie is Bad Words, directed by Jason Bateman, who also stars. Its about a guy who exploits a loophole in the rules and enters a national spelling bee. Batemans character is hilariously obnoxious, spouting one inappropriate opinion after another. No one is exempt. Its not a great movie by any means, but I laughed out loud. And for this time of year, a definite plus.
