In the opening musical number of the Film they admitted it wouldn't be as good as the first Film....
With a very basic plot and loads of cameos the film could have been good, but instead it was far too long to hold my family's attention. Ricky Gervais wasn't believable as a proper baddie in the true over-the-top-obvious Muppet fashion and his performance together with the length of the film (at almost 2 hours) made for an uncomfortable time...some families actually left the cinema before the end. The few laughs were few and far between...so in conclusion unless you are as besotted with the Muppets as Tina Fey's character was I'd save your money for something else.
