Leave your thoughts about The Muppet Movie.
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenThe Muppets were formally inventive long before Charlie Kaufman came on the scene. |
| Zertinet MoviesSteven SnyderRegardless of your interpretation, it's a movie that's great to share with parents, with siblings, or with children, and it maintains a mature comedic edge that will leave multiple generations enjoying the same experience. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonThe most condensed and purified expression of the starry-eyed optimistic humanism that defined all of Henson's best work. |
| The SpectatorTed WhiteheadThe cast are all here, along with the technical wizardry, but the dialogue staggers from one leaden gag to another and there is an unmistakeable note of desperation throughout. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAfter that first second we quit wondering: This is magic, after all, so who wants to know where Henson is? |
| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterA good-sized dose of likeable Muppet fun. |
| Movie MetropolisJames Plath'The Muppet Movie' is one big road trip, and like 'The Blues Brothers' there's a payoff not just at the end, but around nearly every corner. Music only sweetens the deal. |
| Radio TimesAngie ErrigoComedy director James Frawley imposes pleasing order on the charming proceedings while Henson and his long-time associate Frank Oz delightfully dominate. |
| The DissolveNoel MurrayThere’s a fair amount of Hollywood magic in the way director James Frawley and Henson’s Muppeteers stick Kermit and friends into scenarios in which he’s riding a bike, rowing a boat, and walking in cowboy boots. But the less showy effects always defined the Muppets. |
| Film ThreatRory L. AronskyThe Muppet Movie has never suffered, still one of many great reasons to be a movie buff. |
