Forget Sarah Marshall… This Bro Brought Back the Muppets!

We gotta admit, when first we heard of the Muppet movie, our reaction was “Pleasant childhood memories. Rainbow Connection, yada, yada.

But it’s that good kind of 80s crack that, after your first hit, you just want more.

When you first see actor Jason Segel surrounded by muppets, it’s eerily surreal. This is especially true if you remember his extended nude scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

If you’re a baby daddy bro, you’ll be a hit with the kids. If you’re a single bro on the prowl, this is a good date movie. If you’re stuck with the fam on the holiday, even grandma will laugh at the fart jokes. Our only complaint is there’s a bevy of hot babes we won’t see naked in it: Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Lizzie Kaplan and Sarah Silverman to name a few. So, since we can’t…
