“‘The Muppets’ is not the kind of movie likely to get much awards-season consideration, though it’s the kind that ought to: smart, warm, and, in its avowedly goofy way, elegant. 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.” Christopher Orr, The Atlantic
“[I]t’s nice to see the band back together. And when Kermit busts out the banjo for ‘Rainbow Connection,’ you might even go for your lighter.”–Rafer Guzman, Newsday
“It’s so great to see Kermit and Miss Piggy and Gonzo and Scooter on the big screen again. It’s great to hear Animal play the drums, Statler and Waldorf crack wise from the balcony, and Fozzie Bear make terrible puns. It’s great to be reminded of the Muppet universe which is filled with laughter and music and love. Yep, ‘The Muppets’ is pretty great all around.”–Mike McGranaghan, The Aisle Seat
