Muppets Most Wanted Trailer


Muppets Most Wanted Synopsis
Immediately following the events of their last film, the Muppets find themselves at a loss as to what to do next. They agree to Dominic Badguy's suggestion they go on tour with him as their manager. Meanwhile, criminal mastermind Constantine, who highly resembles Kermit, escapes from a Siberian Gulag and joins Badguy, his subordinate. The two plan to steal the Crown Jewels.

Arriving in Berlin, Dominic secures the Muppets a show at a prestigious venue. Kermit, frustrated with the troupe's ludicrous requests and Miss Piggy's insistent hints at marriage, takes a stroll. Constantine ambushes him and slaps a fake mole on Kermit's cheek, making him look like Constantine. Constantine escapes and Kermit is arrested and sent to the Gulag. Constantine takes Kermit's place, with everyone except Animal believing it's Kermit. During the Berlin performance, Constantine and Badguy steal paintings from a nearby museum. Kermit makes numerous escape attempts at Gulag 38b, each one thwarted by prison guard Nadya. Aware of his true identity, Nadya orders Kermit to help organize the annual prison talent show.

The next morning, Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon and CIA agent Sam Eagle grudgingly ally to apprehend the culprit, whom Napoleon identifies as his nemesis, "the Lemur". Following instructions hidden behind one of the stolen paintings, Constantine and Badguy divert the tour to Madrid. Constantine informs the Muppets they can perform any act they wish, much to Walter's suspicion.

The Muppets perform in Madrid while Constantine and Badguy find the next set of instructions to steal the crown jewels, destroying many busts in the process. In spite of a disastrous performance that sends the audience to sleep, the Muppets receive critical acclaim. Sam and Napoleon deduce that the connection between the crimes is the Muppet tour, and the pair interrogates the Muppets, to little success. As the tour reaches Dublin, Walter discovers Badguy paying critics to write positive reviews, and Fozzie Bear realizes the resemblance between Kermit and Constantine. Fozzie and Walter finally deduce that Constantine is on the tour train imitating Kermit, and that Badguy is in on the scheme. Constantine, seeing they have found him out, attacks them, but Animal fends him off and the three escape the criminal by hopping on another train. They conclude the best course of action is to go rescue Kermit.

At the climax of their performance in Dublin, Constantine proposes to Miss Piggy, who accepts; the pair will marry at the Tower of London. Arriving in London, Constantine and Badguy conspire to use the wedding as a distraction while Badguy uses a locket stolen in Dublin, along with the assistance of Bobby Benson's Baby Band, to steal the crown jewels. Fozzie, Walter, and Animal arrive at the Gulag and inform Kermit of Constantine's plot. The four use the prison show as a front to escape along with the rest of the prisoners, and they head to London much to Nadya's dismay.

The wedding gets underway and Badguy disables the security systems to the crown jewels, successfully stealing them. Kermit interrupts the wedding ceremony, revealing Constantine to be his criminal double. Constantine escapes with Piggy as hostage. Arriving at their helicopter, Constantine comes across Badguy —revealed to be the world's number-two criminal, the Lemur, in a lemur costume — with the purloined Imperial State Crown. Badguy announces he is double-crossing Constantine, who ejects Badguy from the helicopter and takes flight with Piggy. Kermit intercepts and the rest of the Muppets climb atop each other in a "Muppet ladder" to stop the helicopter, with the help of an irate Piggy.

Constantine and Badguy are arrested for trying to steal at the Museum. Nadya arrives in London to arrest Kermit for initiating the prison escape and "breaking her heart." The rest of the Muppets inform Nadya that if Kermit is arrested, they're going with him. Nadya relents, deciding Kermit belongs with them, and drops the charges. The Muppet tour concludes at Gulag 38B where Constantine and Badguy participate in the prison show.

As a conclusion, we should be careful to the person that we don't really know and we should be intelligent and not to get cheated by bad guy. Overall, this movie is awesome and you should watch it.
