EXCELLENT!
ok, so i'm happy most any time the Muppets do anything at all. it's true.
the only thing that i have NOT liked was the Wizard of Oz disaster.
this is the Muppets back home in New York being themselves, again. it is classicly told in the proper muppet universe.
the music is good and the jokes are fresh.
this ISN'T the MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS, (nothing ever will be that great again!)
but it is the best thing in years!
Didn't Like it
I didn't like this movie at all and I should have read the reviews before I rented it. Bad movie!
Fun movie, even if the plot is a little underwhelming.
I originally watched this movie last Christmas. Surprisingly, they showed it multiple times on Comedy Network (basically Canada's version of Comedy Central): not exactly a network aimed at children. I'm a younger adult who's familiar with the muppets, but was born after their best years, so I wasn't sure exactly what to expect.
Don't expect an Emmy winning effort or anything more than a super-thin plot here, on those metrics the movie doesn't do much (it was originally made for TV after-all). However, it manages to get over these issues by having just a really fun Christmas atmosphere and some decent family-friendly jokes. In particular, Kermit and Pepe really drive this release. At times, for adult viewers, it is cheesy to say the least, but somehow with the Muppets even that seems forgivable. There are some great parts in this movie, starting with some great slapstick and overall comedy of how much damage the Muppets manage to do at the post office, to a great Sopranos...
