Muppets from Space: Critic Reviews

The Muppets were once devilish and sly, but this ploddingly whimsical musical caper, which uses too many '70s soul songs to signify its rainbow-demographic cred, is enough to make you want to see them get slapped around by the Teletubbies!

The balance of character, plot, irreverent humor and innate decency that made some of the earlier Muppet movies so welcome is lost.

The movie has a clever premise that will appeal to all ages!

All of the characters have been replaced by humorless pod creatures.

This new Muppet movie is the funniest I can remember!

Appealing!

The new Muppets movie lacks the kind of excitement the first ones generated.

Doesn't have the right awe and wonder!

A more entertaining space trip this summer than you-know-what.

A modestly clever comedy.

Draggy and awfully thin!

Some of this is fun, some of it is extraneous, and by the end of Muppets From Space it's hard to tell the difference.

Muppets From Space will satisfy the little kids, which may be all grown-ups really need in the dog days of summer -- a babysitter with air-conditioning.

Thin in its ideas and surprises.

Muppets from Space proves that, without a solid script, a Muppet movie can be just as bad as any other dud.

Smart and winning, this sixth Muppet feature film comes closest to recapturing the pure joy of the 1979 original!

Plenty to keep kids and parents amused.

A wild and funny tale.

The Muppets are still a pure delight to watch, and this is the best post-Henson movie they've produced.

Witty, warm-hearted!
