    [It's] a movie which at best provokes a few random chuckles and at worst makes me weep for the future of the Muppet gang.

    There's a brilliant moment that finds Scooter in S&M gear, gyrating in a cage in a leather bar as Kermit ponders a world where he's never been born.

    ...will never make it onto the list of classic holiday flicks, but it's agreeable enough to warrant a mild recommendation...
