The Great Muppet Caper Reviews

Classic muppet with good acting, writing and music

Not an engrossing classic, but tolerable. Hard to be sure how closely the script was followed as the characters are all aware they are in a movie. Several great lines.

It had Charles Grodin!

The Great Muppet Caper is a cute film. It is about reporters (Kermit, Gonzo, and Fozzie) who travel to Britain to interview a rich victim of jewel thieves and help her along with her secretary, Miss Piggy. Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and Diana Rigg give excellent performances. The script is well written. Jim Henson also did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this movie because of the humor. The Great Muppet Caper is a must see if you grew up watching this movie.

This is a solid Muppets sequel, even if it feels slightly shoddy in comparison to the original. There are still plenty of laughs to be had and some memorable cameos, my favourite is John Cleese and Joan Sanderson. I still haven't seen a bad Muppets film, long may that continue.

One of my favorite movies as a kid. Watched it several times!

I luuuuurve the muppets!

This is one of my favorite movies of all time.

My partner says that I'm Sam the Eagle...especially after the part when the Muppets all get done singing the Happiness Hotel song, Sam opens the door to his room and asserts, "You are ALL a bunch of WEIRDOs!", then slams his door.

Not as good as the first Muppets movie! I thought the first half of this film was incredibly good and I mean it was very funny, entertaining and all the songs were just as good as the songs in the first film, but unfortunately the last half of the movie was kind of lame. It started off as a funny adventure movie with Kermit, Gonzo and Fozzie as reporters trying to get there jobs back. That alone sounds really funny, but the movie changed it's story all of a sudden and the movie started being this action/mystery movie and I don't think that's a bad thing, but as soon as they did that the movie started getting less funny and the songs started getting more annoying. Yes, the cameo with John Cleese is really funny, but pretty much after that scene the movie starts going down hill. So, I loved the first half of the movie, but I hated the second half, so all in all, I'll call this movie just okay.

Looks interesting will try to find and watch!

Not as funny and energetic as the first one or the recent revival, but a lot of fun, nonetheless. Some of the elaborate puppet effects are nothing short of astonishing.

I love the Muppets but this wasn't as entertaining as their others. And all the musical numbers were horrible and got really old. Still cute and silly though.

i think i have seen this but just to be on the safe side i will put want to see

So far, the only Muppet movies I've seen are this one, "Christmas Carol", "Treasure Island", "From Space" and the 2011 one. This I would rank as number 4 on that list.

A lot of scenes I found funny were the Happiness Hotel song, Miss Piggy's fantasy, the part where Fozzie puts sugar in champagne, drinks it and says "You know if you put enough sugar in this thing, it takes like ginger ale." (when I tell people that joke, they laugh. You can't show champagne in a family movie now. Although Tintin had an alcoholic captain) and some nice 4th wall jokes.

But not all the jokes are funny, there's a moment where Kermit, Fozzie and Gonzo are in boxes are are dropped from a plane and land in London. A man sees them and says "The forecast said it was going to rain cats and dogs." That joke doesn't work in the slightest. Another scene I hate is John Cleese's cameo where he plays the really boring husband to the really boring wife and all they do is talk about the weather. This scene goes on and on and gets really boring. It was just an excuse to get John Cleese in the movie. Also, the line "We're gonna catch these thieves red handed." "What colour are their hands now?", that joke only works the first time but not when it's used the second and third time. The moment where Gonzo yells "Stop the presses!" for no reason is also pointless. Why did they film that? Frank Oz appears in the background of that scene.

There's a really nice moment where we see all the Muppet riding bikes and I still have no idea how they did that. Even the filmmakers won't tell. It's one of the most impressive special effects shots of all time and it holds up really well after 31 years.

Overally "Caper" is a nice addition to the films, not as strong as the other ones but defiantly better than "Space".

Look out for the Jim Henson cameo.

C'est tres sympathique, le film est tres energique, mais ca tourne malheureusement tres vite a l'hysterie, avec un scenario et des guests tres inegaux. Heureusement, CHARLES GRODIN est plutot bon et les chansons sont plutot reussies. THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER est un bon film, bien moins reussi que son predecesseur, malheureusement.

Better than The Muppet Movie.

The perfect follow-up to "The Muppet Movie!" It's very much Miss Piggy's turn here, yet the ensemble cast has a very strong presence not seen in cinemas since. Great songs. Elaborate musical numbers. Wild humor. Pure magic!

HOLY HELL....i love them..and miss Jim Henson and his creative ways

Second only to 'Muppet Treasure Island', in my humble oh-pinion.
