Andie MacDowell, Bill Barretta, Brian Henson

The Muppets are still searching for another species like Gonzo. Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, along with his assistant Beaker, theorize that Gonzo may have come from an alien race, possibly the one that crash...( read more  read more... )-landed in Roswell in 1947! The Muppets travel to "Area 51" and, after an encounter with a particularly surly MIB Agent (Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea), break in (with a little help from Bobo). They then find that Gonzo was the only of his race to escape from the crash-landing, and that he suffered from amnesia as a result of not being in contact with others of his own kind. Now that they are all together again, Gonzo regains his memory. He then realizes that, since he has returned, his race can return to their planet, via a odd-looking (you'll have to see it for yourself) spaceship. Now, Gonzo has to face an awful decision: will he leave his friends to return to his own kind, or will he stay with the muppets and deny his race the opportunity to return home at last?

    It only really gets 4 stars for the fact it?s a Muppet film but it does have good gags and they tell their own story for a change but the music lets it down as do some of the new Muppets (Apart from Pepe, he is the best thing to happen to the Muppets in a long time) The DVD bloop...( read more)er reel is laugh out loud funny too!

    Muppets From Space just kind of does what every other aging, once-great kids show does--gets on whatever bandwagon is riding high at the time (in this case aliens) and relies heavily on C-list celebrity cameos. Muppets From Space also dares to answer the age old question "What th...( read more)e Hell is Gonzo Anyway?" with anticlimactic results. Well, anticlimactic for those of us who grew up on The Muppet Show. The good news is that despite the odd soundtrack and now-dated catchphrase usage this movie still has some entertaining and pretty funny moments and is nowhere nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be. Either that or my 2 year-old daughter has seriously warped my tastes...

The begining sequence as they all wake up is brilliant, showstopper for sure, also the undercover agency with Jeff Tambor is good for a laugh, oh and dont forget Pepe dressing in his tut...( read more)u, classic.
