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.

The Muppets gather to watch their newly-finished big-budget rich-and-famous feature film: a talent agent persuades Kermit the Frog to leave the swamp to pursue a career in Hollywood. On his way there, he meets a bear, a pig, a whatever (his future muppet crew), and some special celebrity guest stars, while being chased by the desperate owner of a frog-leg restaurant!
Kermit and Fozzie are newspaper reporters sent to London to interview Lady Holiday, a wealthy fashion designer whose priceless diamond necklace is stolen. Kermit meets and falls in love with her secretary, Miss Piggy. The jewel thieves strike again, and this time frame Miss Piggy. It's up to Kermit and the rest of the Muppets to bring the real culprits to justice.
A retelling of the classic Dickens tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, miser extraordinaire. He is held accountable for his dastardly ways during night-time visitations by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future.
After telling the story of Flint's last journey to young Jim Hawkins, Billy Bones has a heart attack and dies just as Jim and his friends are attacked by pirates. The gang escapes into the town where they hire out a boat and crew to find the hidden treasure, which was revealed by Bones before he died. On their voyage across the seas, they soon find out that not everyone on board can be trusted.
When Gonzo's breakfast cereal tells him that he's the descendant of aliens from another planet, his attempts at extraterrestrial communication get him kidnapped by a secret government agency, prompting the Muppets to spring into action to rescue their friend.
