The Muppets isn't the only movie opening this week -- but it might as well be, at least for a generation of filmgoers who grew up watching Kermit and his pals on The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, and at the movies. For a lot of people, the Muppets really mean something, and although nobody can reasonably expect the new Jason Segel-led Muppet movie to truly recapture the franchise's original magic, it seems like an awful lot of us are rooting for it to come close.
