    i always enjoy each muppets film. the world created by muppets blending in with society is just way too much fun, and the stories are always absurd but fun. one of the muppets better movies.

    another fantastic addition to any comedy collection. while the acting is bad to the point of being funny, the writing is legitimately hilarious. more great cameos, more awesome puns and gags, and more touchingly heartfelt moments sprinkled into all the silliness. the music isn...( read more)'t as great as some other muppet movies, but it's a small complaint. this is also the film that spawned the Muppet Babies...good childhood memories, there.

    It's a bit boring for the muppets and the songs weren't their best but there were a couple of laughs throughout

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The fact that this plot is not original does not deter you, Kermit, nor should it. It's still a good plot. full review
