Muppets: Most Wanted Blu Ray Review
It’s not easy being…mean, but there are plenty of laughs coming home this week as Muppets: Most Wanted hits store shelves this Tuesday!
Since we’ve already reviewed the film, we’d like to take this time to review some of the special features included on the DVD and Blu Ray.
For those who have not seen the movie already, Muppets: Most Wanted takes place immediately after the events of the first film. This time, a Kermit the Frog look-a-like, Constantine, poses as the famous frog to infiltrate The Muppets and steal the Crown Jewels under the cloak of a world tour.
The Blu Ray Combo Pack comes with 3 different versions of the film, including the “Unnecessarily Extended Edition”, which features 12 minutes of footage that was not included in the theatrical version.
One of my favorite bonus features is the “The Longer Longest Blooper Reel in Muppets History”. Bloopers are always fun to watch but this reel is chock full of hilarious moments of botched lines, breaking character and technical difficulties. The best part of it all was watching Ricky Gervais act alongside Constantine…quite often unsuccessfully.
Other features of the Muppets: Most Wanted Blu Ray Combo Pack include:
- The Statler and Waldorf Cut
- The Longer Longest Blooper Reel in Muppets History
- Rizzo’s Biggest Fan
- “I’ll Get You What You Want” Music Video Performed by Bret McKenzie (Flight of the Conchords)
The Blu Ray Combo Pack also includes a DVD copy as well as a code to claim the film on Disney Movies Anywhere.
Muppets: Most Wanted stars some of today’s best talent and features Ricky Gervais (The Office), Ty Burrell (Modern Family) and Tina Fey (30 Rock). The film also features very special guest appearances by Tony Bennett, Sean Combs, Rob Corddry, Celine Dion, Josh Groban, Salma Hayek, Ray Liotta, Ross Lynch, Chloe Grace Moretz, Christoph Waltz, and more!
Though some people thought having so many celebrity appearances was overwhelming, the bottom line is that The Muppets have historically featured big actors of the time dating back to the premier of The Muppet Show in 1976.
Muppets: Most Wanted was a surprisingly fun film to watch and I highly recommended picking it up on Blu Ray or DVD this Tuesday, August 14th!
Also, if you have the opportunity to visit Disney’s California Adventure park at the Disneyland Resort this Tuesday, Annual Passholders are invited to see a screening of Muppets: Most Wanted at Muppet Vision Theater and enjoy a complimentary popcorn and beverage with the movie. The movie will be play at 10:00am, 12:30pm, 3:00pm, 5:30pm, and 8:00pm.
