Tina Fey is just awful in this

Why the hell did they cast her in this. She is just obnoxious and wooden. How the hell does this broad keep getting work?

She did a great job. Loved her song, "Big House"!

I like 30 Rock a lot and she was good in other movies, but in Muppets Most Wanted it looks like she didn't rehearse at all. She looks so insecure. The song is really great, but her singing also sounds insecure and uninspired at best. It has nothing to do with sexism or anything, she's just not good in this movie.

That song (Big House) was so catchy, I wondered whether it was adapted from a pre-existing hit song. If not, then all I can say is it was fantastic and well performed by Fey.

You can remove "in this" and I totally agree. She is th biggest most overhyped sexless lack of talent to be constantly shoved in our faces since John Travolta.

I couldn't disagree more. Maybe you just don't like Tina Fey, that's ok, I have celebrities I don't like as well. I was impressed she could sing, and pretty well at that! I didn't find her wooden at all. To each his own, I guess.

I did find Tina's Russian accent distracting but hilarious she was,

I think the movie needed more Tina Fey not less. I felted bummed along with Nadya at the end when the promise of her solo was revoked.

She was great. Can it be that she was SUPPOSED to be a rigid Russian prison warden?? You couldn't figure that out?

I thought she played the character well. This is a Muppets movie, in the classic sense, not trying to do it in the new style. It is a throwback.

I thought she played one of the best parts, honestly.

I was coming here to praise her job in this film. I am not a fan at all of her work, in 30 Rock if it wasn't Alec Baldwin ad Tracy Morgan, would have been a disaster. And her as host for the Golden Globes was not very good either, specially compared to Gervais the genius, which funnily enough was terrible in this film. But here my friends, I thought she was very, very funny, good writing for her and so, but so sexy!! Probably is the russian accent :D
