I'm not sure you could capture happiness any better than this film does. I'm by no means the biggest Muppet fan, but I couldn't help but smile throughout the whole film. Every high expectation I had was met. It's one of the best family movies we've had in years and I would seriously question how someone could not think this was an absolute joy to watch. It crafts a wonderful balance between between true to old fans and helping pull in new ones. Well done Jason Segel, well done.

This was a really great experience. I have my complaints, but overall I was just happy to see the Muppets on the big screen again.

It's not often a movie reduces me to tears of laughter! This did! Honestly if you don't find this a massive amount of fun you should probably find a cliff, throw yourself off and make sure the rocks below are sharp and jagged... maniacal laugh!

This is totally a film for adults. Total nostalgia-fest. It's a toast to the muppets, to remember them, but yet the film isn't really memorable in itself. There is little for me to cling onto. It's fun while it lasts though.

A worthy tribute, but I'd go one step further and say it's also a continuation and hopefully a rebirth for Henson's lovable gang of weirdos.

Man, I went into this with some high expectations. I found myself pretty uncomfortable for chunks of the film. Cringe-worthy, even. Something about Amy Adams made me want to hide. I'm not sure if it's how she was written or how she chose to play it, but it was uncomfortable. Furthermore, with the lack of a larger story besides the old "we're getting the band back together" cliche, no Muppet character is given the chance to shine. Walter has an arc, but he's the only one.

A good homage to the original Muppets, the first third was great, after that the weakness of the plot began to show through as it made it's way to an uninspiring conclusion.

The most fun I've had in a theater since I was a child. I was literally smiling the entire way through.

Before this, I had never watched single Muppets film in my life. For whatever reason, these characters were simply never part of my childhood, and as such, the constant fan-servicing references and jokes flew straight over my head. However the musical numbers were brillaint and the self-aware humour was absolutely sublime. However, if you're one of those rare people, like moi, who have never experienced The Muppets before, than the charm of the film isn't exactly the most accessible.

If The Muppets was solely about the gags this would have been the best thing I'd seen all year. However, it had a story. And it was pretty bad. And it definitely slowed the comedy down as it went. Thankfully, the movie seemed aware of all of its faults and mocked that story AND the song & dance numbers. Definitely a blast

The addition of Walter wasn't exactly up to Henson era Muppet standards and it relied a bit more on non Muppets than past movies. However, that said it still had enough charm and bits of clever writing to make it a fitting comeback. Not to mention the cameos were great as usual.

Maybe the most disgustingly catchy opening number in cinema history.

This movie is pure joy.

Wonderfully fun, really life affirming and uncynical. Possibly requires some pre-existing love of the Muppets to really love.

Wow, no way, really, no goddam way I expected such an entertainment like this one, and it turns out that it completely delivers with an enormous package of in-jokes and gags. Best family movie of the year, no doubt of that.

So amazing. I was smiling the whole time. Fantastic music, very funny, lots of heart. Loved it.

A cute and funny movie with fun cameos and catchy songs. What a Muppet movie should be.

Good movie

Struggles to find room for all its characters, but its hard to say anything bad about this film, its a charm/nostalgia overload.

The film succeeds because it inhabits the Muppet world so well. The songs, the wholesome comedy, and the romanticism are all present in spades. Scenes or gags featuring Animal, Beaker, and esp. Jack Black were uniformly excellent. This is a bit of a trifle, but it is really enjoyable family viewing.

Okay not a muppet fan, but this was actually a really charming little treat, even despite a very down by the numbers story. Even made me laugh out loud on a couple of occasions...

Brings the Muppets back without compromising their unoffensive charm, I couldn't think of a better human lead than Segel (there are a lot of nice cameos in this too, Parsons' was hilarious). I really hope this is the beginning of a new Muppet show....

I didn’t go into this with a sense of nostalgia because I was never a big fan of the Muppets, but I enjoyed it. I like that it was a passion project of Jason Segel’s. I was loving the beginning of the film, but I didn’t like it quite as much when all the Muppets came together. My favourite parts of the film were the multiple awesome celebrity cameos, and the really fun and brilliant songs from Bret McKenzie. I liked it, but I didn’t love it.

Ultimate Feel Good Movie! I loved the songs and musical scenes especially. Me Party, Life's a Happy Song and Man or Muppet are just great!

I wouldn't say that I dislike musicals, rather, I simply prefer my films to be of the non-musical variety. Anyways, as charming as the Muppets themselves are, most of this felt rudderless-- a parade of celebrity cameos and pop culture references standing in for plot and characterization. And I really do not like Jason Segel. It's a good nostalgia trip for Muppets fans, but it feels a bit hollow.

Most disappointing Muppets film ever.

The cameo appearances seem a bit misused, and the third act drags with perhaps a bit too much sentimentality, but Kermit and Piggy’s rekindled romance makes the show all worth it. [Full Review]
