The purity of the nostalgia turns this franchise film into a love letter to childhood.
You can rest easy - if you have previously loved the Muppets, you will likely currently love The Muppets.
The chorus of one of the songs declares, 'I've got everything that I need, right in front of me.' For 120 minutes, that's precisely how I felt.
[Filmmakers] hew close to the essential innocence informing the Muppets' silliness.
The Muppets is a triumph of simplicity, innocence and goofy jokes. It's a triumph of felt.
A mixed bag then: The Muppets isn't the best or the worst of Kermit's big-screen capers. At least it's a reminder that here's one frog who isn't about to croak.
A return to form for Kermit and company.
Jubilantly renews the signature mix of craziness, cleverness and camp that made the Muppets multimedia superstars in a previous entertainment era.
For all the diverting fun and silly gags, along with Fozzie Bear's fart-shoes and Miss Piggy's infinite ego, the Muppets make it their business not to condescend to their viewers.
A nice throwback to the muppets we know and love and it will assuredly speak to a new crowd as well as touch an old one.
Growing up, I loved the Muppets. This film is a great chance for a new generation to fall for them as well.
Overall I found the movie a bit too cloying and self-aware to distinguish itself from the mass of kiddie flick pap.
All of our old favorites are here, from Fozzie Bear and Miss Piggy to the original grumpy old men, Statler and Waldorf, along with a number of celebrities in amusing cameos...
This is clearly a labor of love for star/writer Segel and the entire cast is having a blast with it.
The movie is better when the muppets are front and center and not the humans
Actor-writer Jason Segel happily plays a supporting role and lets a new generation be introduced to Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and Animal.
Admittedly, there are a few misfires every once in a while, but with its barrage of self-referential humor, breaking through the fourth wall jokes, imaginative cameos and satirical winks at Hollywood conventions, The Muppets is a comedy lover's dream.
Longtime Muppet fans will undoubtedly have more fun than young ones, but for the most part, it's a witty, delightful romp.
... older folks raised on the late Jim Henson's brainchildren will be charmed ...
Not all nostalgia is created equal.
One of the movie's real pleasures is the 'reality' of its puppety ethos -- our awareness that Segel and Adams really are talking to Kermit and Piggy, and not to a blank space that will be filled in later by an animator.
There's still an endearing sweetness that permeates The Muppets.
The Muppets marks a triumphant return for these beloved characters. This movie made me feel good all over.
A bit flat and never quite as madcap or wacky as the TV show or early films, The Muppets hits enough right notes to be a pleasing welcome back for longtime fans and a lovely introduction for those deprived of Muppets magic.
It is a film that works for...fans who remember what the Muppets were but it's also a great way of establishing who the Muppets are.
