Deborah Ross The Spectator I just hoped for more vaudevillian anarchy and less sentimentality. Sometimes, it is a mistake to revisit your childhood with the same expectations. Aug 31, 2018 Full Review Sophie Mayer Sight & Sound It's a film for 2012, for the 99 per cent, for the Occupiers who have been criticised as Starbucks-quaffing smartphone revolutionaries seeking a rainbow connection that could only be called 'kermunism'. Jul 9, 2018 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online ... The Muppets not only restore their name in the movie, but they prove to the audience that they're back and they're still as cute and entertaining as ever before. Rated: B+ Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand It’s the best showcase for the heart, humor, and wonderful absurdity of the Muppets since the 1970s series and their 1979 big screen debut. Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The Muppets have returned with renewed energy. Welcome back. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 6, 2023 Full Review Martín Rodríguez En Filme If you don't like musicals, don't even try: Yes, they sing a lot.

Dale R Gary, played by Jason Segel, and his twin brother, played by a new muppet Walter, must try to get the muppets back together again to save their old theater. This film is a wonderful blend of quality music, great writing and nostalgia. Most of the songs in the movie were written by Bret McKenzie and work really well within the story. My favorite, “Pictures in My Head”, was written by Jeannie Lurie, Aris Archontis and Chen Neeman and perfectly captures what any muppet fan has been thinking for the past forty years. In addition “Man or Muppet” won an Oscar for best original song. There is a lot of self-referential humor and mis-direction gags in this film that are all well written and right up the muppet’s alley. The writing also pulls the nostalgia string by referencing The Muppet Show and the first Muppet Movie. A well crafted movie with a lot of love put into it, I highly recommend checking it out! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Noah M Heart warming movie brings back both old and new characters to the big screen. This truly is a blast to the past! - Muppets biggest fan :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review BRENDEN J The Muppets was a fun movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Aux R Decided to re-watch this movie with my mate, it's a very fun movie and very enjoyable to watch, love all the laughs me and my mate had while watching this it's nice going back and revisiting these movies Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Keith N One of the best Muppet movies Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review ross M Some people find joy from friends and family, but I myself find joy within the BARZ of Kermit the frog. You see, my family is dead and if I didn't have Kermit the frog…. So would I. It was 2010 when one played ones eyes upon this masterpiece and from then on I was enlightened by the simple things in life. Such as …… Kermit, Kermit, Kermit and you'll never guess what else Kermit. From the day I played my eyes on him in 2010 his glistening green skin has left and imprint into my brain. Kermit means so much to me I built a Kermit shrine in my wardrobe. I worship him everyday and see no reason to stop. Kermit you are my slime, and my life. I could ramble on for days about your succulent BARZ, your skin and your drip, but I suppose I must bring this article to and end as rotten tomatoes might be unimpressed. But Kermit if you are reading this I love you xxxxxx Signing off for now Love all the the mandem Big up the queen Gonna go watch the muppets with my slime Ananana Byeeeeeeeeeeeee Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
