The Muppets

The Muppets are back and, as Michael Doherty reports, they're as inspirational, celebrational and Muppetational as ever.

Director: James Bobin

Starring: Jason Segel, Kermit The Frog, Chris Cooper, Miss Piggy, Amy Adams, Fozzie Bear

  • A Dangerous Method

    It may be a Freudian thing, but Michael Doherty is a tad underwhelmed by David Cronenberg's new drama.

  • The Woman in Black

    Former boy wizard Daniel Radcliffe takes on his first man-sized lead and, as Michael Doherty reports, it's scarier than Dumbledore's nose.

  • The Vow

    Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum team-up for Hollywood's latest tear-jerker that will leave you upset for all the wrong reasons.

  • Big Miracle

    John Krasinski and Drew Barrymore join forces to save the whales - everyone loves whales, right!?

  • Martha Marcy May Marlene

    Elizabeth Olsen and John Hawkes are superb in debutant director's psychodrama

  • Man on a Ledge

    You may find yourself saying "hang on!" for all the wrong reasons.

  • Jack and Jill

    Truly awful: that is the first sentiment that comes to mind after viewing 10 minutes of Adam Sandler's latest effort Jack and Jill.

  • Carnage

    Michael Doherty is dazzled by the acting talent on show in Roman Polanski's latest drama

  • Young Adult

    Charlize Theron delivers her best performance since Monster in this sad, black comedy about a self-deluded thirty something who refuses to grow up

  • Journey 2: The Mysterious Island

    This really could have been excellent and entered Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom territory. Instead, it's more like The Crystal Maze.

  • The Descendants

    Following George Clooney's Oscar nomination for Best Actor, The Descendants is now critic-proof, which is no great travesty.

  • W.E.

    Madonna's second outing as a director is a lavish, exceptionally decadent affair that is pleasant on the eyes but ultimately is a case of style over substance.

  • Coriolanus

    Ralph Fiennes's directorial debut is a cracking update of that old Shakespearean war horse, Coriolanus. Donal O'Donoghue is impressed.

  • J. Edgar

    Good topic, a fine central performance and a great director, but J. Edgar the movie doesn't do much for Michael Doherty
