Been away for far too long due to my new job schedule!! I wanted to try something since I hadn't been here for over a month, So I decided to try the Wings today with the Bourbon Glaze Sauce with Fries and a Side of Corn Nuggets with Cinnamon Honey and these were the meatiest wings I've had in years and the Bourbon Glaze is my new favorite wing sauce! BJ (The Chef) cooked these wings to perfection and made sure to ask if I wanted them crispy or not (which I did). Justine and Jorge were out of town for a wedding along with another cook, so BJ brought the family in for back up. It was great seeing him do his thing with his Brother Maurice and family to help out. If you're reading this and you haven't been in for lunch or dinner yet, PLEASE go show this family some love and support a family owned and operated business that deserves to see what this community can do for a small restaurant trying to share their passion for food and making us smile. And let them know Big Rich sent you! 😉👍 #YelpJax #IgersJax #SamsungGalaxy #LetsGuide #LocalGuide #SupportLocalBusinesses #JaxIsRad #Eatss #NomNomJax #JacksonvilleRestaurantReviews #IKnowJax #DevourJax #FoodieChats #BoldCityEats #igersjaxcrew #EyesOfJax #JaxReviews #Foodies (at Food Addictz Grill)

For Obvious reasons the article below contains SPOILERS, Since I was able to see this before it was officially in theaters…(yay premiere!) YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, also SPOILERS|
The End.
No, I’m kidding, but that’s exactly how the movie began, with “the end” of the last movie… takes direct sequel to a whole new level, of course it’s been roughly 5 years since I watched a muppets movie… and that being said, I was pleasantly surprised at how GOOD this movie actually was, I hate musicals…usually but somehow I found this one to be more than tolerable. It subverts (imitates satirically or undoes) many Classic Tropes and Clichés. Which makes for many very funny moments, plot twists, and generic satire played off both for laughs and plot progression, however the payoff for what seems to be a character being “stupid” usually manages to outweigh the face palm, when you are unaware of said payoff, which is why I won’t ruin it for you.
The movie plays off a few generic tropes which I’ll list as usual:
The following Tropes are taken directly from Tvtropes.com with edits to the comments
Card-Carrying Villain: This is Parodied—one of the villains is named Dominic Badguy and has a literal card with his name on it, he claims it’s pronounced ba-gee, supposedly French for good man.
Creator Cameo: Steve Whitmire, Kermit's puppeteer, appears as one of the prisoners at the gulag Kermit gets taken to, since in the modern films in post-production the “muppeteers” are edited out, so this is for the sole purpose of not having to figure out how to hide Whitmire when a mob of prisoners carries Kermit away.
Criminal Doppelgänger: I ain’t spoiling anything.
Distinguishing Mark: Play’s a rather large role in this movie… can you guess what it was?
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Jean Pierre Napoleon and Sam the Eagle (here a CIA agent) get quite adamant over proving who has the bigger badge… Something feels… off.
Sequelitis: Lampshaded to hell-and-back in the opening number, "We're Doing a Sequel". The first verse ends with "everybody knows the sequel's never quite as good", and it only escalates from there.
Skyward Scream: "KEEEEEEERMIIIIIIIIIEETT!!!"
With that in mind, I do recommend you watch this as soon as you can, it’s enjoyable even without having seen the previous movie (but you probably should) Prepare for some hijinks, and hilarity, as well as Russians, Frenchies, some da vinci code, and more.
That being said, this movie receives a 4.5/5 Stars, only because saying 5/5 is pretentious and 4/5 doesn’t do it justice!
