This weeks SAC Film is The Muppets. It will screen on Wednesday at 9 PM in the PSU Theater. No Sunday showing this week due to Spring Break. The new muppet film was written by and stars Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, How I Met Your Mother). He’s joined by Amy Adams and all of your favorite muppets. The movie also features the Oscar Winning Original Song “Man or Muppet” with music and lyrics by Bret McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords fame.

“On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Jason Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate. — (C) Walt Disney” – Rotten Tomatoes

The return of the muppets was a hit with critics and audiences alike, pulling in a 96% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes with the consensus of:

“Clever, charming, and heartfelt, The Muppets is a welcome big screen return for Jim Henson’s lovable creations that will both win new fans and delight longtime devotees.”
