I love the Muppets, so it's no surprise I love this film. It's everything you expect from the Muppets. A lot of musical numbers, a lot of breaking the fourth wall, a lot of celebrity cameos and just overall lighthearted fun. It's a film that's been made several times and as long as they're smart, funny and clever then I don't really care watching what is, essentially, the same film over and over again. If you know the Muppets, then you know what to expect. It's a lighthearted story about the importance of believing in yourself and having friends who believe in you too. It's corny stuff, but the Muppets always pull this off in a heartwarming fashion. There's really not much else to say, this is an excellent film and great for families.

Jim Henson's Muppets hit the big time in The Muppet Movie. In their first feature film, the Muppets retell the story of how Kermit the Frog set off for Hollywood and found a group of friends who shared his dream of stardom. Like the television show, the film is full of witty, campy humor, and features a number of celebrity cameos from the likes of Steve Martin, Mel Brooks, Bob Hope, Richard Pryor, Orson Welles, and many more. Additionally, the musicals are immensely fun and entertaining, delivering such classics as "The Rainbow Connection" and "Can You Picture That." The Muppet Movie is a classic family film that's fun for all ages.

Many Muppet movies have come and gone since the 1979 original, but none come close to capturing the magic of the Muppets like The Muppet Movie. Good script, good songs, fun scenes and cameos, and genuinely tender moments performed with such skill and care that we often forget we are watching hand puppets and not real, living creatures. And who can forget Kermit singing The Rainbow Connection on his log (in a first-ever full-body shot made possible by submerging an obviously committed Jim Henson in a waterproof box under water)? That song should have taken the Oscar for best song. All the magic and joy Jim Henson infused into his life's work, the Muppets, is all on screen in this fantastic road movie.
