The film picks up immediately after the events of “The Muppets,” with the Muppets unsure about their next steps. They are convinced by Dominic Badguy (played by Ricky Gervais), who poses as a talent manager, to embark on a world tour. Unbeknownst to them, Dominic is working with the criminal mastermind Constantine, a Kermit the Frog look-alike, who escapes from a Siberian Gulag.
During the world tour, Constantine swaps places with Kermit, imprisoning him in the Gulag while taking on his role with the Muppets. The Muppets remain oblivious to the switch, allowing Constantine and Dominic to carry out a series of heists across Europe.
As the Muppets perform in various countries, Interpol agents Jean Pierre Napoleon (played by Ty Burrell) and Sam the Eagle become suspicious of the crimes associated with the Muppets. Meanwhile, Kermit tries to organize a prison talent show to lift the spirits of his fellow inmates.
The climax unfolds as the Muppets, along with Kermit’s Gulag friends, uncover Constantine’s true identity and the plot to steal the Crown Jewels in London. The film combines humor, musical performances, and classic Muppet antics in a lighthearted caper.
In the resolution, Constantine and Dominic are apprehended, and Kermit is freed from the Gulag. The Muppets reunite for a grand finale, celebrating their unique talents and friendship.
“Muppets Most Wanted” received mixed to positive reviews, with praise for its humor, musical numbers, and the Muppets’ charm. While it didn’t reach the same level of critical acclaim as its predecessor, fans of the Muppets appreciated the film’s playful and nostalgic elements.
