Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey 2011 ★★★

Watched Jul 21, 2012

Meh. I enjoyed all of the behind the scenes muppet stuff, but I guess I expected more from this film. You never really learn much about Kevin Clash. You learn that he loved muppets his whole life, took shit for it as a teenager, became a small time puppeteer, and then a big time puppeteer. We learn about the turning points in his career, but we never learn much about who he is as a person. The only real glimpse we get into his personal life is the birth of his daughter, and that only serves to give Kevin an opportunity to say that kids are more complicated then muppets. Uhhh...ya, we know, what else you got?
