Better Late Then Never

Absolutely brilliant

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The Muppet Movie is an all time classic for the whole family. There are great jokes and the story will keep everyone entertained. All your favorite muppet characters are in this. It would be nice to see some of them more (like Beaker and the Professor who I love!) but there's only so much time obviously. It's a great film with amazing puppetry even still for today. Recommended highly if you haven't seen it.

This movie is just such a classic! Even someone who has never been a big muppet fan can and will enjoy this very well made film. The voices of them and how they act are of course pretty much the exact same as always. I like how the film starts out. It begins with Kermit just resting on in his swamp while singing and playing his music. A supposed talent agent comes by in a paddle boat and points out Kermit's blatant musical talent and says he should travel to Hollywood and audition. Kermit likes the sound of that idea and leaves his swamp home behind for Hollywood. On the very first stop along the way, he comes across Fozzie the bear and makes quick friends with him at a restaurant that serves deep fried frog legs. There is a man who advertises them at the restaurant and he spots Kermit and wants to catch him. This man becomes our villain. Kermit and Fozzie continue their journey to Hollywood. Their car ride is accompanied by fun musical numbers to entertain along the way. Eventually we come into contact with more muppet characters and then they stop at a county fair where a county fair pageant is being held. Enter miss piggy. She comes onto the big screen and as you may guess, her and Kermit lock starry eyes with one another and that's all it takes to take her with them to Hollywood. The scenes with Kermit and Piggy are very well written and I loved seeing them on screen together. They have a date night at a hotel they stop at and as if the movie wasn't already good enough then we get a Steve Martin cameo as the obnoxious waiter serving them. Then eventually we wrap the movie up with a dual against the villain and seeing if all their Hollywood dreams come true. 9/10 for the muppet movie. And it's an awesome pick for family viewing!

Director James Frawley gives us the first in a line of many Muppet movies with The Muppet Movie. The movie is about Kermit The Frog showing us a film about how the muppets not only met but got their start. The film follows Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Miss Piggy, Rowlf, and Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem going across the country to find their start in Hollywood. Meanwhile Doc Hopper played by Charles Durning is chasing after Kermit to use him as a spokes person for his new french fried frog leg restaurant. The film includes cameos from Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, Bob Hope, Edgar Bergen(this is also his last film role),Elliot Gould, Big Bird played by Carrol Spinney and many more. The Muppet Movie is the first movie in a long time that has left me with a good feeling and a smile on my face. I definitely recommend The Muppet Movie.Rated G.1hr 35min/95min.****/****

And so, we finally get to learn the origins of Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and the rest. Of course, "The Muppet Movie" is more than a series of absurd gags (but make no mistake, there are quite a few of those). The main issue is friendship and standing up for what one believes in. Still, it's fun to watch Kermit elude the lascivious Doc Hopper (Charles Durning) and the Doc's meek assistant Max (Austin Pendleton) while meeting the rest of the Muppets on the way to Hollywood, and to spot the seemingly endless number of comedians in bit parts.OK, so we could be cynical and note that Jim Henson's work got excessively commercial after he died. But still, the movie is a perfect representation of Henson's original vision. And besides, how can you not like Steve Martin's performance as the waiter and Mel Brooks's performance as the scientist? "The Muppet Movie" is one flick that you can't afford to miss! PS: director James Frawley is the son of William Frawley, who played Fred Mertz on "I Love Lucy"
