MUPPETS MOST WANTED- Following on from the end of their last film, the Muppets find themselves at a loss as to what to do next. Per the suggestion of tour manager Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais), the Muppets decide to embark on a world tour. Meanwhile, Constantine, the worlds number one criminal and a complete dead ringer for Kermit, escapes from a Siberian Gulag, before making contact with Badguy, who turns out to be Constantines subordinate; a position Constantine frequently reminds him of. Arriving in Berlin, the Muppets intend to play in a shabby venue, but Dominic secures them a show at a more prestigious location. Becoming increasingly frustrated with the rest of the Muppets ludicrous requests for the show, and Miss Piggys insistent hints at marriage, Kermit takes a stroll to calm down at the suggestion of Badguy. However, he is ambushed by a hooded Constantine, who slaps a fake mole on Kermits right cheek, making him resemble Constantine. Constantine escapes and Kermit is arrested and taken to the Gulag in his place. Constantine meets up with the rest of the Muppets, all believing him to be Kermit, except Animal. As the Berlin performance goes underway, Constantine and Badguy sneak off to steal a selection of paintings from a nearby museum. Meanwhile after being locked in the Gulag, Kermit makes multiple escape attempts where each one thwarted by Gulag guard Nadya (Tina Fey) since she has seen every prison movie including the ones that take place in outer space. Nadya orders Kermit to help organize the annual prison show. The morning after the burglary, Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon (Ty Burrell) and CIA agent Sam the Eagle begrudgingly form an alliance to apprehend the culprit, who Napoleon identifies as the Lemur, after discovering a coin-based calling card. Following instructions hidden behind one of the stolen paintings, Constantine and Badguy divert the course of the Muppet tour to Madrid as part of a plot to steal the crown jewels of Great Britain. Constantine informs the rest of the Muppets that they are permitted to perform any act they wish, much to the suspicion of Walter. The Muppets perform in Madrid whilst Constantine and Badguy steal 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 performance receives critical acclaim. Sam and Napoleon deduce that the connection between the crimes in Berlin and Madrid is the Muppet tour, and the pair interrogate the Muppets - to little success. As the tour reaches Dublin, Walter discovers Badguy to be paying critics to write positive reviews, and Fozzie Bear realizes the resemblance between Kermit and Constantine. Fozzie and Walter figure out that Constantine is on the train posing as Kermit, and that Badguy is on the scheme. Constantine sees that they have found him out, and attacks them, but Animal manages to fend him off, and the three of them manage to escape the criminal by hopping on another train. They then figure that 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 withthe pair intending to 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 to steal the crown jewels while manipulating the Baby Band to help steal the jewels. Fozzie, Walter, and Animal arrive at the Gulag and inform Kermit of Constantines 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 Nadyas dismay. The wedding goes underway and Badguy disables the security systems to the crown jewels, successfully stealing them. Kermit interrupts the wedding ceremony, revealing Constantine to be nothing more than an imposter. Constantine escapes with Piggy as hostage in tow. Arriving at their helicopter, Constantine comes across Badguy (revealed to be the worlds number two criminal, the Lemur, while donning a lemur costume) with the Imperial State Crown, before Badguy announces his intent to double-cross Constantine. Constantine responds by evicting Badguy from the helicopter and taking flight with Piggy. Kermit intercepts and the rest of the Muppets and Napoleon use a Muppet ladder to stop the helicopter in its tracks, with the help of an irate Piggy. Constantine and Badguy are arrested, and after arriving in London, Nadya attempts to arrest Kermit once more for initiating the prison escape and breaking her heart. The rest of the Muppets express to Nadya that if Kermit is arrested than so shall they be, and Nadya relents, deciding Kermit belongs with them and drops the charges. The Muppet tour concludes at the Siberian Gulag where Constantine is part of the prison show.
