Saoirse has a Cameo in Muppets Most Wanted While celebrity cameos have long been a fixture of the live-action Muppet universe, not since perhaps the final 10 minutes of the recent “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues” has a movie been so crammed to bursting with blink-and-you-miss-’em star turns, although the ones here are deployed to rather less hilarious or purposeful effect. There’s some fleeting amusement to be had in the sight of, say, Ray Liotta in a prison onesie, or Celine Dion joining fellow diva Miss Piggy in a black-and-white musicvideo, or Christoph Waltz briefly taking the stage to dance (what else?) a waltz. Far more perplexing are the mere seconds of screen time enjoyed by the likes of James McAvoy, Tom Hiddleston, Saoirse Ronan and Chloe Grace Moretz, though their pointlessly brief appearances are ultimately no more or less random than anything else in a movie that spits out musical sequences and movie references (everything from “A Chorus Line” to “Lawrence of Arabia” to “The Silence of the Lambs”) like some sort of malfunctioning pop-culture gumball machine.
