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.

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!

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

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

The movie contains several more cheery, Disneyesque songs than are necessary, but they are made tolerable by the presence of Kermit and Miss Piggy.

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

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

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

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.
