Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais), the Muppets' new manager, convinces the gang to embark on a world tour. Kermit the Frog doubts that it's a good idea -- a feeling that's proven right when look-alike Constantine escapes from prison, takes Kermit's place, and lands Miss Piggy's sweetie in a Siberian prison. While the frog tries to convince his captors of his true identity, Constantine and Dominic are free to carry out their plan to steal London's crown jewels.

Critics Consensus

While it may not reach the delirious heights of The Muppets, Muppets Most Wanted still packs in enough clever gags, catchy songs, and celebrity cameos to satisfy fans of all ages.

Jason Bailey

Flavorwire

If it doesn't quite manage to equal the total satisfaction of its predecessor, it's hard to get too persnickety about a picture as joyful and sweet as this one.

The Australian

The magic is largely missing this time. It starts promisingly enough with a rather good song about the pitfalls involved in doing a sequel but, after that, invention seems to flag and many opportunities are missed.

Rated: 2.5/5

Jake Wilson

Sydney Morning Herald

The fact is that Henson never lost his appreciation for non-conformity, whereas Bobin and Stoller are company men at heart. Yet the Muppets have a life of their own, and it's good to see them live on.

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

Any quibbles the viewer may have are dismissed by McKenzie’s charming songs, which on their own make this Muppet Show worth the price of admission.

Rated: 3/4

A rare example of a sequel that outshines the original, this movie has a much more entertaining plot then the Muppets, and it's super funny, and filled with catchy songs.

The Muppets go on a world tour and find themselves involved in an international criminal heist masterminded by a Kermit lookalike named Constantine. This movie does drag a bit in the middle, but the set up and finale are satisfying. Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey all do a great job in the lead roles. Bret McKenzie wrote the songs for this film and they are hit and miss. Favorites of mine include “Do It All Again” and “Interrogation Song”. They may have gone a little overboard with the cameos in this film with 26 that didn’t get cut and 6 more you can see on the extras. This movie does feel like a true Muppet movie with their style of humor and references to previous movies and television shows. I think this movie is worth your time.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

While this movie made a joke about sequels are never as good as the original, it proved itself wrong. Though it isn’t as critically acclaimed, I vastly prefer this movie to the first. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice movie. Especially if it is for a family friendly experience. I think even if people don’t love this film as much as I do you will still enjoy it.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
