Lands near the bottom of Muppet achievements, but laughs remain. There's just not enough of them to wash away the bizarre lethargy of the effort.

Feb 02, 2013better than the other christmas muppet affair as it doesnt degenerate into blandness after the first 10-15 minutes of runtime. in this instance the U.S. presence of big names does add to it & is wholly more compelling than micheal caine uttering "humbug" rather languidly when thinking about where else he had to be on every day of shooting. very much enjoyed kermits rant when david arquette attempts to defrost him & all the actors at least seemed interested in being in itSanity Assassin !

Nov 27, 2011It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie is the Muppet take on the Christmas classic, It's A Wonderful Life. However, it's a halfhearted effort at best and is more of a spoof than an homage. All the comedy is sloppy, obvious, and overly cartoonish, with none of the craft that the Jim Henson Muppets had. David Arquette and Whoopi Goldberg give weak, bland performances that do nothing for the story. The only thing working for the film is Joan Cusack, whose cartoonishness is at least fun to watch. It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie is little more than a second rate parody film, and slowly deteriorates into a series of loose comedy sketches. Still, it's the Muppets and one can't help but be drawn in by their charm.Dann M Super Reviewer

Dec 24, 2008The muppets' Christmas show is under threat as an evil woman wants to convert the theatre into a night club. Lots of funny moments and special guests including David Arquette and Whoopi Goldberg. I love Fozzie bear, his heart is in the right place.Candy R Super Reviewer

Oct 28, 2008You've got the guest cameos, Kermit and the gang trying to save the Muppet Theatre from financial ruin again, and the basic plot from It's a Wonderful Life, everything you'd expect from a Muppet movie. Some fun moments. The celebrities in the lead roles are going over the top in their performances though. And this string of Muppet movies taking the plots of A Christmas Carol, Treasure Island, and The Wizard of Oz don't seem as strong as when the writers come up with original stories.Byron B Super Reviewer

Daniel's Boss: | When you write the laws of the universe you know where all the loopholes are. |
