and a new Muppet named Walter play 'Muppet Show' fans who stumble across a plot
by oil baron Chris Cooper to raze the dilapidated old Muppet Theater and drill for crude
on the property. The Muppet fans decide to save the theater by mounting a stage-

Candance Cameron Bure talks about
‘Truth Be Told,’ her latest role.
Grace (Mendes) is a single mom. She is too busy
juggling work, bills, and the very married Dr.
Hartford (Matthew Modine), to give her daughter,
Ansiedad (Ramirez) the attention she desperately
needs. When Ansiedad's English teacher, Ms.
Armstrong (Patricia Arquette), introduces her
students to classic coming-of-age stories,
Ansiedad is inspired to skip adolescence and
jump-start her life without mom. While Grace
becomes preoccupied with the increasing affections of her co-worker (Eugenio Derbez),
Ansiedad enlists the help of her loyal friend,
Tavita (Raini Rodriguez), to plot her shortcut to
"adulthood". But as her misguided plan unravels,
Ansiedad and Grace must learn that sometimes growing-up means acting your age.—(C) Pantelion
