What would life amongst the Muppets have been without their unofficial leader Kermit the Frog? That's the question posed by this made-for-TV confection, which not only spoofs the Yuletide classic It's a Wonderful Life, but also takes satirical aim at such pop cultural phenomena as Moulin Rouge and Fear Factor. The plot is set in motion when typically evil banker Rachel Bitterman (Joan Cusack) forecloses on the Muppets' famous variety theater, with the intention of building a gaudy nightclub. But Bitterman's machinations take a back seat when apprentice guardian angel, Daniel (David Arquette), shows Kermit (voiced by Steve Whitmire) what conditions would have been had Kermit never existed. Without going into full detail, suffice to say that a Kermit-less world would have found Miss Piggy (voiced by Frank Oz) running a fraudulent psychic hot line, Fozzie Bear as a homeless derelict, and Sam the Eagle as a caged dancer at a rave. Decked out with cameo appearances by everyone from Whoopi Goldberg to the cast of the TV series Scrubs, It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie debuted over NBC on November 29, 2002.Synopsis by Hal Erickson, Allmovie.com
Parents need to know that It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie is a made-for-TV movie originally released in 2002. This homage to the classic film It's a Wonderful Life casts Kermit the Frog as a Muppet George Bailey, who, after the funds to save the Muppet Theater are lost, wishes he'd never been born. Cartoon slapstick and pratfalls are a big part of the humor, including a Muppet-versus-human karate battle. There's also a scene where a Muppet walks through lasers that scorch his "fur." This movie includes two Muppet kisses and some mild potty talk (one "butt" and one "peepee"). One Muppet drinks something that might be alcohol at a Christmas party and passes out, several commercial films and TV programs are referenced by content (although not by name), and the NBC peacock logo is shown once.Review by Barbara Schultz, Common Sense Media
