I honestly forgot which Muppets movie is this.
It's Muppets, and their capering, or heisting or something like that. Really my default rating for all such ventures.
One of my favorite classic muppet movies. It’s hilarious.
Funnier than the first film - though at the expense of both pacing and, more importantly, heart.
The second Muppet film, this one takes place in England, isn't as great as the first, but still a fun time! 7.5/10
I usually hate “let’s point out we’re in a movie” 4th wall jokes but they feel enthusiastic here instead of snarky.
Hilarious, even if it's a little dated! A great choice for family movie night!
It's more of the meta, zany, and lovable muppet humor you've come to expect.
It’s a muppet movie. How can you go wrong?
Watching Miss Piggy get sexually assaulted in the workplace was not on my. 2025 bingo card.
