Review of The Muppet Movie

“I'm very thankful that The Muppet Movie is not my first exposure to these characters. I've seen many of their movies before, as well as their TV show, so I know that these characters are capable of being funny. Had I seen The Muppet Movie first, however, I likely would've avoided the muppets like the plague. A truly terrible film in just about every respect, The Muppet Movie is a disaster, and I find it strange that other people don't see that.

In a nutshell, The Muppet Movie is about Kermit the Frog, who is convinced he may have a career in film, and goes on a crazy road trip to Hollywood, picking up new friends to come along. Things are further complicated, however, by a villainous man named Doc Hopper, who's intent on using Kermit to promote his fried-frog-leg business.read more

Films and the critics who hate them (741 movies items)

"The transition from the yank-'em-off-if-they-bomb lunacy of the TV show to the coherent narration of the film is not a complete success. - John Skow, TIME Magazine Slapstick chases and weak movie references look tired, while the attitude towards Miss Piggy and Camilla the Chicken is, well, less than progressive. - Time Out"

Movies my daughter watched multiple times - 2012 (27 movies items)

" Kinda wish I'd kept track of how many times she's watched this, The Great Muppet Caper, and The Muppets. She went through a phase where she bounced between all 3 films on a regular basis, and if she's got a clear favorite there's no way I can tell. Maybe she loves all of them the same."
