And I think I'm going to wind up making a more substantive comment on your review later tonight because it's inspired a lot of thought--for one thing, I forgot until reading your post that the villain had had the change of heart and walked out of the theatre thinking I *had* seen the movie you wanted . And goodness, how I would love to read about a muppet diaspora.
(Your post also clicked for me what bothered me about Miss Piggy and Amy Adams' arcs--it wasn't so much that they're defined by their relationships with men as the way the movie presents both Kermit and Jason Siegel with a false choice between The Woman and The Team/The Venture. This has the probably unintended side effect of turning Amy Adams in particular into the villain who takes Jason Siegel away not only from Walter but from The Venture. Her desire to celebrate their anniversary almost ruins everything.)
