I went and saw Muppets Most Wanted. Like the other Muppet Movies it uses the shotgun approach to comedy, if you tell enough jokes some of them have to be funny. The more you know of current pop culture personalities, the funnier it will be.

It does include some crossdressing, Sweetums dances the female part of a waltz with Christoph Waltz. The prisoners of the Gulag, perform "I Hope I Get It" (in prison garb, but acting flamboyantly or flamgirlantly) and the Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies (wearing longjohns and tutus). The Gulag prisoners include Danny Trejo, Ray Liotta, Hornswoggle from the WWE, and others that all look like they were voted in high school "most likely to commit mass murder."

Note that some places are listing Christoph Waltz as playing himself, he is actually playing Christopher Waltz. Danny Trejo also is not playing himself, but playing a character named Danny Trejo.

While not their best offering, it is still entertaining and fun.

I was quite surprised at the amount of fun they poked at European (French) work ethics/rules. "I'm on my lunch hour, it lasts six hours."
