The Great Muppet Caper Reviews
I am always amazed at how the Muppets blend into the human world. Never has this been better done.

There are characters which have sprung to mythical life on the box because their creators are an artistic team to compare with the original Walt Disney's.

More traditional family fare is served up by The Great Muppet Caper, which -- though it is somewhat thinly spread over 96 minutes -- contrives, to tolerably engaging effect, to involve the garishly cuddlesome creatures in a farcical live-action anecdote.

The sophisticated, ironic overtones do not interfere with a child’s enjoyment of the film. The two levels enrich each other by fusing into a complex vision that is satisfying to an intelligent person be he or she young or old.

While there's a lot to love in the movie, that approach kind of puts the characters at a remove and doesn't deliver the type of emotional payoffs that came in the other movies. (40th anniversary)

Instead of a story that took advantage of the richly drawn characters we'd come to know and love over, it gives us a knockabout farce that ... feels more like a lesser Bob Hope vehicle.

This is a fun little riff on the mystery/heist movie

Like its predecessor, this film is its own best fan.

The usual pleasures are all here, but the puppeteers seemed especially intent on giving themselves logistical challenges this time around.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 7, 2013
Perhaps the shallowest of the three classic Muppet films... But even an imperfect Henson movie is bound to have quite a lot of charm.

Muppets in London on a retro musical robbery-romp.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 15, 2010
That first film with the muppet crew had to be a success; this time it was more difficult. Nonetheless, the caper plot that Henson and company worked out manages to hold adult interest for quite a while.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 20, 2008
During their late-70s heyday the Muppets won huge 온라인카지노추천 audiences with their corny puns and showbiz in-jokes, but stretched to feature length the formula loses some of its snap.

The songs are routine, but the inconsequential plot leaves plenty of time for engaging asides.

...just as silly and uneven as its predecessor.

A brisk and consistently funny family entertainment. [new DVD review]

still the second-best Muppet movie you'll find

We don't care about some dumb diamond the size of a baseball, and as Muppet fans we're probably also indifferent to Henson's ambition to satirize old movie genres.
