Summary: everything you'd ever want in a Muppet movie
Review: "The Great Muppet Caper" is not the definative Muppet film (check out "The Muppet Movie" [1979] for that distinction) but it is a very solid outing from Kermit and the gang. The celebrity performances and cameos (even Jim Henson, Muppet creator, shows up) are well-done, with just enough campiness to make them funny for kids, but just enough restraint to keep it interesting for adults. The bike riding scene in the park is first rate, as is the Esther Williams-style water dancing sequence with Miss Piggy as its star.

In short, this British-influened slice of cinema is more sophisticated than the aforementioned "Muppet Movie" and less silly than the subsequent films. It's a great choice. Buy it without hesitation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best of all the muppet hits- fun for all
Review: --- An adventure for the whole family; and this time the complete gang apears. Jim Hensen is a master!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Muppets are the funniest performers in the game!!
Review: Any movie that features the Muppet gang is going to be great, but the ones produced while Jim was still below the scenes are the best. This movie has so many wonderful moments -- the background nonsense during "Hey, a movie!", Gonzo's demonstration of how to hail a cab, Statler and Waldorf's heckling, the way people can't tell Kermit and Fozzy apart, and a hilarious cameo by Peter Falk...just to name a few. And it even has Charles Grodin before he became a boring late night talk show host. Terrific fun!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Witty, witty, witty...
Review: As I am indulging in all things British at the moment, I wondered how Jim Henson would be at a British murder mystery. The answer is absolutely fabulous!

In the opening credits, Fozzy complains about how long the credits are taking and says, "Does anyone even read those names?" "Sure," replies Kermit, "they have families." From there Henson takes you on a pure romp of fun, finding the humour in the British, in fashion design, in plot development, in seedy hotels, in Columbo, and in the Muppets themselves. Throughout the film, Henson also plays with the audiences' mind as he breaks down the barrier between the plot and reality. He was an incredibly clever man!

Also, if you have a favorite among the Muppets, yours will probably have his time in the spotlight. My favorites are Beaker and the Swedish Chef, and I was not disappointed in them. However, my appreciation for Kermit, Miss Piggy and Gonzo also grew in this film. (It's been awhile since I watched the Muppets.)

So, all in all, this is a good time for anyone, with humour and creativity there to inspire folks of all ages.
