Fozzie and the two banana brothers have to stop jewel thieves in England. This isn't the best Muppet flick, but it is the next best. Filmed as a Muppet-noir, this work is not only fun, but also interesting, with great... Full review

This film is definitely a comic masterpiece. A great improvement over the earlier MUPPET MOVIE, which seemed more like a faltering first step into feature film techniques; this has a strong plot, bright characters and keen timing. It also has... Full review

The Great Muppet Caper is pure entertainment and doesn't try to be anything else.
Original creator Jim Henson, who directs here as well, continues the tongue-in-cheek humor of breaking the fourth wall and acknowledging the audience as well as mocking the mystery/suspense genre.

At-A-Glance Film Reviews
The creativity involved in this film is so much that sometimes the humor isn't even needed to inspire delight in its audience.
The script is hilarious.
The climactic heist scene at the end is one of the Muppets' most riotous moments.
