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.

My least favorite Muppet movie. But it's still the Muppets, so it's worth a viewing.

During their late-70s heyday the Muppets won huge TV audiences with their corny puns and showbiz in-jokes, but stretched to feature length the formula loses some of its snap.

Too much Miss Piggy. I always hated Miss Piggy. Kermit was too good for her.

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

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.

Lacks the warm wit of the original movie, but hey, the old-school Muppets were a funny bunch of freaks!

The songs are routine, but the inconsequential plot leaves plenty of time for engaging asides.
02/09/06
The movie contains several more cheery, Disneyesque songs than are necessary, but they are made tolerable by the presence of Kermit and Miss Piggy.
