Critics Consensus

If Muppets from Space lacks the magic and wit of its cinematic predecessors, this pleasingly silly space romp is funny and clever enough to make for better-than-average family entertainment.

It's nothing special but it is the defintion of harmless. The 70's Funk & R&B is Good but doesn't really fit the Sci-Fi Theme in the slightest and is just ok overall. Everything about this is pretty much harmless and mediocre. The story is ridiculous and doesn't match the spirit of what the Muppet movies are usually about ever. They break into a government lab with 007 gadgets and have a 70's funk party on Cape Doom. That should describe the silly all over the place tone. Honestly, the biggest problem is the jokes are all just flat and never land a laugh once. There not bad but one are good either. Also Gonzo isn't even the focus for 40% of the movie with pointless subplots like Miss Piggy's TV show, the other Muppets just doing stuff, and unfunny jokes. If your a die hard Muppet fan and just wanna have this on in the background than go ahead. This really isn't worth anyones time except if you are nostalgic for it from growing up. It's as harmless as you remember it.

Gonzo's existential crisis- the movie (ft. The Muppets) (ft. weird 1999 humor and editing) (ft. a funky soundtrack)

A charming post Jim Henson film that feels so close to being a Muppet movie but so far from it. Entertaining and wild but then dull in the next moment a mixed bag that has a lot of love but not enough to keep you coming back.

I really don't like Gonzo being an alien. Him being a "whatever" resonated with me and so many others so I chose to believe this movie does not exist.

It is a good movie but it can be a bit cheesy. But if it has Gonzo as the main character its good

In 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.
