You won't be disappointed!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

If I gave "The Muppet Movie" 10 out of 10, I'd have to give this movie something like 15 out of 10! This is my all-time favorite Muppet movie! Not only that, but it's also one of my all-time favorite comedies! It's hilarious! Any joke these guys could possibly make shows up here, and they all work perfectly! This is the one of the best Muppet movies and comedy films you'll ever see!Synopsis: Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo work for their local newspaper, "The Daily Chronicle." After a huge robbery featuring the famous Lady Holiday takes place - literally right behind their backs! - they decide to go to England to interview Lady Holiday. Before they can see her, though, Miss Piggy comes in attempts to be a model, but becomes a receptionist instead. Kermit confuses Piggy for Lady Holiday, and they go out to dinner. What they don't know is that they'll be investigating who Lady Holiday's robbers are.There are way too many jokes for me to talk about here! They all work, and they're all funny! One of the great things the Muppets do well is break the fourth wall, and let us into their world. The fourth wall jokes are awesome! One of my favorites is after a huge musical number that takes place in Piggy's mind during Lady Holiday's fashion show. In her vision, Mickey, Lady Holiday's brother, and Kermit both sing to her. After her vision, she realizes Mickey framed her for something she didn't do. As she's being taken away she yells at him, "Y'know what? You can't even sing! Your voice was dubbed!" At the beginning of the movie, our reporters miss the big robbery story and tell the boss they'll do better next time. He asks them why they think there'll be a next time, and Kermit replies, "If there's not, it's gonna be a real short movie."The fourth wall jokes are great, but the other jokes work just as well, too! I LOVE the Happiness Hotel! After they get there, they have this exchange of dialogue:POPS: Hey, how are you boys fixin' to pay? KERMIT: What're our choices? POPS: A: Credit Card; B: Cash; C: Sneak out in the middle of the night. FOZZIE?: We'll take C. POPS: Very popular choice.CAN YOU SPELL AWESOME?!? Why would that be an option in a hotel? It's so funny! Another favorite joke of mine is when the reporters are trying to get a taxi. None of them stop for Kermit, and Gonzo takes care of it in his own weirdo fashion. He jumps in the middle of the street screaming "TAXIIII!" A taxi stops, Kermit acknowledges the effectiveness of that action, and Gonzo replies, "Yeah, it's great when it works." YOU CAN'T FIND JOKES LIKE THESE ANYWHERE ELSE!!!The songs are really good, too. Joe Raposo, one of the early songwriters of "Sesame Street," wrote these songs. These songs have a bit more of a purpose than the songs in "The Muppet Show." They set the mood and the tone of the film. They're also really memorable and fun. They're no "Rainbow Connection," but they're still pretty good.What I love about this movie is that the humor is very smart. Just like in many Muppet project or in any Jim Henson project, the entertainment is smart and thoughtful. The writers and producers put thought behind these jokes. It's not random crap thrown in front of us, insulting our intelligence. These jokes work because people thought about them and put on the screen what they knew would work.I just can't say how much I love this movie. This is one of my favorite movies ever! It's hilarious, it's musical, it's mysterious, and it's our favorite characters doing what we love! I promise you will love this movie! You'll get a headache laughing throughout this film! BOOYIKA!

The Great Muppet Caper is a fantastic movie for the whole family to watch,with some of the most loved characters in history.It was one of the films I had in my DVD collection (and still do),and you to watch constantly,I was looking through my DVDs and found this,so I decided to watch it.It brought back some great memories,and since I'm older there where plenty of jokes I didn't get the first time around,thats how great The Muppets are,they make it funny for the whole family.Also there stuff I didn't realize,like John Cleeses hilarious cameo appearance which reminded of his character Basil from Fawlty Towers.Two twins,Kermit The Frog and Fozzie Bear,are trying to make it as new reporters with there photographer Gonzo.They head to England and stay at Happiness Hotel along with several other Muppets,and catch a scandal along with Miss Piggy that a gang have planned to steal jewels from a wealthy lady.The Muppets try to stop it and get a good story out of it.

The Muppets are in England and get involved with Lady Holiday (Diana Rigg), her brother (Charles Grodin) and jewel robberies. Who cares about the plot though. It's just an excuse to see the Muppets perform--and they're great. The script is fast and very funny--one-liners go flying all over the place and every single one works. There's a constant breaking down of the fourth wall with the Muppets addressing the audience and poking fun at their own movie! Also there are elaborate musical numbers! The songs are instantly forgettable but the dance in the restaurant and the water ballet (!!!) really work.Also you see the Muppets walking, dancing (Miss Piggy's tap dancing looks realistic!), riding bikes, swimming AND riding a motorcycle! This was all done before we had CGI but it works. I can't figure out how they did it--and I don't want to know. Acting is very good. Rigg is having a whale of a time in her role and it rubs off on the audience. Grodin appears drugged but it DOES fit his character. A few other actors do cameos but you have to see the movie to find out who they are.Ten stars may be excessive for this movie but I loved it. I was never bored and thoroughly entertained. Highly recommended.

In the short life of Jim Henson, he achieved some quite spectacular things. Technically, he took puppetry into a whole different level. A 'creature workshop' was created, and along with other great performers and skilled artists, which developed some amazing effects for such astonishingly elaborate films as The Dark Crystal (1982) and Labyrinth (1986). The workshop is still, to this day, a fully functioning company, that recently worked on Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are (2009). Aside from Henson's more forward thinking for the development of his craft, he has endowed the collective consciousness with a collection of enduring, lovable characters. Jim Henson had been developing a puppetry style for television since the 1950's. However, after the success of the Children's Television Workshop's Sesame Street (1969 - present), he wanted to be able to take creative control over a show featuring his Muppet puppets.The cultural phenomenon that was The Muppet Show, began in 1976 and ran until 1981. The show was set in a theatre, which was harking back to the days of vaudeville. This element of variety was carried over into the first film, The Muppet Movie (1979), and has also been developed in their second feature, The Great Muppet Caper. Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear are twin brothers who, along with Gonzo, are playing investigative journalists. After being fired from their newspaper, they decide to pursue a story about jewel thieves in England. There they meet a whole host of other Muppet characters, and become embroiled in a mystery involving brother and sister, Nicky and Lady Holiday (Charles Grodin and Diana Rigg). There are some catchy musical numbers, and a Busby Berkley inspired synchronised swimming sequence with Miss Piggy and its centre.It is testament to the characters that Henson created here. They still endure today. I have many fond memories of the Muppets. This was unfortunately the last great Muppet film. (Here's hoping that this years The Muppets will reinvigorate the franchise.) Caper is a fun film. The characters constantly refer to themselves being in a film (this is a device that Henson used also in The Muppet Movie). There are some decent cameos from John Cleese, Peter Falk and Peter Ustinov (who plays alongside Grouch from Sesame Street): Ustinov "What are you doing here?". Grouch "A very short cameo". Ustinov "Me Too".www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com
