Leave your thoughts about Muppets from Space.
| Los Angeles TimesRobin RauziBringing Gonzo to his senses gives the Muppets briskly economical opportunities to satirize government, media excesses and cult sci-fi's more tiresome tropes. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowPlenty of jokes and mayhem to keep kids and parents amused. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallMuppets from Space has silly gags and cute cosmic fish swimming around in its space. It just doesn't have the right awe and wonder -- except, perhaps, for the children who should be its prime audience. Adults, beware -- at least this time. |
| Film.comJohn HartlSome of this is fun, some of it is extraneous, and by the end of Muppets From Space it's hard to tell the difference. |
| Scott Renshaw's Screening RoomScott RenshawMuppets from Space is a broad, silly, fairly charming piece! |
| VarietyJoe LeydonA modestly clever comedy in which nothing gets seriously out of hand. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxThe folks at Jim Henson Pictures have wisely opted not to mess with the late Jim Henson's winning formula; the crowd-pleasing soundtrack features hot '70s funk classics, the Muppets are as cute as ever and there are more than a few flashes of adult humor to keep grown-ups laughing right along with the kiddies. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunHas the usual charm that has made the Muppets so popular. |
| EmpireCaroline WestbrookThe best Muppet movie for some time, adding film references a-plenty, dark, edgy comedy and even a touch of post-modernism to the usual all-singing, all-dancing ridiculousness. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIn terms of Jim Henson-style wonderment and overall cleverness, "Muppets from Space" comes up short. It's entertaining enough, but lacks the magic the Muppets are so skilled at summoning. |
