Leave your thoughts about The Great Muppet Caper.
| The Associated PressLinda DeutschBallooning. Biking. Swimming. Parachuting. The Great Muppet Caper represented a giant leap for Muppetkind, in only their second big-screen outing. |
| Washington PostJudith MartinIt's no accident that the word "great" appears in the title of the new film featuring Jim Henson's felt television puppets. The Great Muppet Caper. Like its predecessor, this film is its own best fan. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenIn what could be the one of the best opening movie scenes I've ever seen, for example, Kermit, Fozzie and Gonzo hover next to the opening credits in a hot air balloon, wondering how soon they will finish. |
| Common Sense MediaCharles CassadyMuppets in London on a retro musical robbery-romp. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonPerhaps the shallowest of the three classic Muppet films... But even an imperfect Henson movie is bound to have quite a lot of charm. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyHere is a thoroughly genial movie, a combination of A.A. Milne, Busby Berkeley and a small bit of Blake Edwards. |
| Chicago ReaderAndrea GronvallJohn Cleese, Peter Ustinov, Robert Morley, and Muppet creator Jim Henson make cameo appearances, but they're all upstaged by an uncredited Peter Falk, whose monologue on a park bench opposite Kermit the Frog is an exercise in virtuoso daffiness. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseA brisk and consistently funny family entertainment. [new DVD review] |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe Muppets are a wonderful creation, but they lose their special quality in "The Great Muppet Caper." They behave like clones of other popular kiddie superstars -- like the basic cartoon heroes they once seemed destined to replace. |
| User ReviewLuke HAfter the original Muppet movie, this is probably my favourite. Technically incredible and genuinely witty. I love the self-referential gags. |
