The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

O tem filmu

Join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and all the Muppets as they turn everyone's favorite classic tale into a musical, madcap adventure that shines brighter than Emerald City! The fun starts when the Muppets team up with an all-star cast that includes Grammy Award winner Ashanti, Oscar(R) nominee Queen Latifah, David Alan Grier, Academy Award(R) winner Quentin Tarantino, and Jeffrey Tambor. Ashanti sparkles as Dorothy, an aspiring singer whose dreams of fame and fortune seem worlds away from coming true in the Kansas trailer park where she lives with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. But when a tornado transports her and Toto (Pepe the King Prawn) to the magical land of Oz, Dorothy meets the Wizard, who promises to make her a superstar -- if she and her wacky new friends, the Scarecrow (Kermit), the Tin Thing (Gonzo), and the Cowardly Lion(Fozzie), can defeat Oz's #1 diabolical diva, the Wicked Witch of the West (Miss Piggy)!

I love the Muppets, I love the Wizard of Oz, I thought "What could go wrong?". Everything. Everything could go wrong. I forced myself to finish it in hopes it would get better, and because I paid for it. It was painfully unfunny the human actors were less than great, except for Queen Latifah who wasn't in enough of the movie to save it. All in all it was around 78 minutes of my life that I will never get back.

I can't lie, I love the Muppets series and it is probably hard for me to be disappointed by anything in the franchise. I loved this film for all the right reasons anyway though. Ashanti was magnificent and it is refreshing to see a woman with her range and talent with Muppets. (There is no other talent like hers that could make it into this franchise, anyway.) Good clean fun for everyone!

The only thing that made this movie worth watching is the funny and excellent, but somewhat odd cameo of Quentin Tarantino.
