I was lucky enough to see this at the Tribeca Film Festival recently. I grew up watching the Muppet Show and I wanted to show my kids how great and lovable the characters are.
Honestly, this isn't as good as 'Muppets Take Manhattan' or 'The Great Muppet Caper', but it was highly enjoyable fun for me and my kids. There were a lot of laughs, and my children were never restless, which isn't something that happens very often at the movies.
As for the cast, I wasn't very impressed with Ashanti as a performer, but I don't think anyone sees a Muppet movie to enjoy the human performances.
That said, I thought Jeffrey Tambor and Queen Latifah were actually wonderful.
They just don't make movies like these anymore. If you are a parent, this should be the sort of film you take your kids to see. It's fun and entertaining for both kids and moms and dads.

I saw this at the Tribeca Film Festival, and I have to say that it was my favorite short film at the festival.
I don't want to give too much of the plot away but it involves hair-metal, geeky teenagers and a lot of make-up. I don't think I've laughed this hard at a film in years.
I grew up in the 1980's with bands like Twisted Sister, and the film brought me right back there. My kids, who didn't really have a point of reference for all the rock stuff, laughed a lot at the glib, semi-surrealist wit of the film.
The acting was excellent, especially from the man who played the teacher. He was very natural and extremely funny.
Later, during the question and answer session, it was revealed that this film won an award for best family film, and I'm not surprised. It's refreshing to see a film that both kids and parents can laugh at and enjoy.

I took my kids to see this at the Tribeca Family Festival, and we had so much fun.
'Cat's Bad Hair Day' is a story about a young girl who is just beginning to get noticed by boys. It's also about the struggle that young boys have in expressing their interest in young girls (throwing rocks and chasing on bicycles).
I have a 12 year old daughter who is experiencing all of this first hand right now and she really loved the movie. She laughed out loud during the kissing scene.
The best part of the short is the naturalistic acting from the young lead actress. She really hits all the notes and never appears like she is trying. I also really loved her strange boy-crazy best friend. I very rarely see full-length movies that get such good performances from children, so I commend the filmmakers on a job well done!!!!
