muppets take manhattan

ive never been a big muppets fan. i remember the old tv shows and would watch them from time to time, but i never really thought they were very funny. so i guess this movie isnt really one that i was going to like from the get go, so the fact that i didnt much care for it is not surprising. the story follows the muppets as they try to take a musical that they created in college (ok, the muppets went to college?!?) and try to bring it to broadway. when they arrive in new york they go to every producer in town and try to get them to put on their musical. it doesnt work. then they just seem to give up completely and everyone goes their seperate ways. well, kermit doesnt give up and meets some people who can help make it possible. i guess one of the reasons i didnt like the film is because their actions are unreasonable. first, the fact that they thought they would be able to make it work is ridiculous, and then when it doesnt, and when it doesnt it seems that they completely give up on the show and on each others friendships. a slight miscommunication sends them all packing, when all it would have taken was just one conversation to fix the problems some of them had with each other. i guess this problem is true of many movies, but with the muppets, the absurd comes into even stronger contrast. i want to like the muppets, but this one is a stinker.
