AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: If it's not quite as sharp as The Muppet Movie, The Muppets Take Manhattan is still a smart, delightfully old-fashioned tale that follows the formula established by the first two movies -- a madcap adventure assisted by a huge group of human stars.

A genuinely fun confection of old-fashioned entertainment.
The movie is breezily fun and every bit as entertaining as its predecessors.
During the 94 minutes of this delightful movie, the Muppets graduate from college, hit New York, are parted and reunited minutes before curtain-up, with Kermit saved from amnesia by a right hook from Miss Piggy.
The fact that this plot is not original does not deter you, Kermit, nor should it. It's still a good plot.
Despite including some of the darkest overtones of any of the Muppet movies, [it] is undoubtedly the sweetest and most nakedly good-natured, almost to the point of dysfunction.
Maybe the least-appreciated and best Muppet movie.
Audience Reviews for The Muppets Take Manhattan
Not the best of the Muppet films, alittle dull actually but there are still some excellent set pieces, the Muppets all riding bikes, the Mahattan scenes all look nice but the Broadway scenes are kinda plain and abit tooooo theatrical haha Its just missing that zany Muppet magic, just abit too flat, still a better movie than most kiddie films these days, pure family fun.
Super Reviewer
The best of the Muppets.
Super Reviewer
A great Creation from the mind of Jim Henson, with great songs, puppetry, plot, and acting. The only i didn't like was the random moment when kermit gets amnesia and i just thought it was useless for the movie
