I don't have any spoilers myself, but I figure we'll go through that in the next few days.

I loved it, on a superficial level. I respect that Jason Segel seemed to have said "I get to do this?! Okay, my strategy is to get out of their way and let them Muppet the shit out of this." And Muppet they did. What an enjoyable nostalgia-fest.

If his intention was, and I dunno, but, if his intention was "the best way to do this is to make the thirtysomethings go OH MUPPETS, kids watch some of my old Muppet stuff!"...well done, sir. Not a great introduction to characters for newbies, but a great re-introduction for those already acquainted. Which in turn makes them all soft inside and figure out their own ways to introduce the Muppets to their kids.

I have more specific thoughts about the film at hand, but I'm more curious...how would you, strategy-wise, get say...a six year-old kid into the Muppets for the first time?
