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.

The Muppets were once devilish and sly, but this ploddingly whimsical musical caper, which uses too many '70s soul songs to signify its rainbow-demographic cred, is enough to make you want to see them get slapped around by the Teletubbies!

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.

If you like the Muppets, you'll likely like this one, although it's not their best film. Bit of gossip - I heard Debbie Liebling insisted on an executive producer title on this film, even though they had hardly any input. The cheek!

It’s a decent movie, but the first act is especially painful to watch.
