The Muppets Take Manhattan sticks to the working formula in earlier films and is an all-around enjoyable time.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 24, 2023

The Muppets Take Manhattan marked Frank Oz's solo directorial debut and he did a wonderful job.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 23, 2023

The Muppets Take Manhattan is a merry remake of any movie in which Mickey Rooney, Eddie Bracken, or Gene Kelly said to Judy Garland "C'mon, my dad says we can use the barn for our show."

...neither the stars nor the songs are a big draw this time around, but The Muppets Take Manhattan has an airy, lightweight quality that gets it over the finish line...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 23, 2021

Doesn't have a ton of story but the music and characters are charming to make it a fun watch

[Y]ou know it's only a matter of time before [the Muppets are] lighting up 42nd street. All that remains is the journey that will take us there.

Despite including some of the darkest overtones of any of the Muppet movies, [it] is undoubtedly the sweetest and most nakedly good-natured, almost to the point of dysfunction.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 23, 2011

Maybe the least-appreciated and best Muppet movie.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 15, 2010

Not as good or as hip as its predecessors, but the Muppet gang remains fairly charming.

A genuinely fun confection of old-fashioned entertainment.

The movie is breezily fun and every bit as entertaining as its predecessors.

During the 94 minutes of this delightful movie, the Muppets graduate from college, hit New York, are parted and reunited minutes before curtain-up, with Kermit saved from amnesia by a right hook from Miss Piggy.

The fact that this plot is not original does not deter you, Kermit, nor should it. It's still a good plot.

Not as good as the original Muppet Movie, but close.
