My Favorite Muppet Movie

This is the best Muppet movie! I love the story because I wanted to be a Broadway actress at one time. Like all other Muppet movies, there is something for everyone. Guest star cameos, humor and a story that everyone can... Full review

This is a rather enjoyable and harmless entertaining Muppet movie, featuring most of the well known Muppets. It really isn't their best or most memorable one though.Lets face it and be honest here, this movie really isn't the greatest made... Full review

Destined for the Big Apple, The Muppets turn New York upside down in this hilarious comedy about the struggle to stardom. As soon as their finished with college Kermit, Fozzie and the rest of Kermit's gang go to Broadway in... Full review

"Muppets Take Manhattan" shines when it comes to the beauty of Jim Henson's magical mind. If u see this film,u will see a lot of Muppet-style heart and soul. Whether it be seeing the Sesame Street Muppets at Kermit + Piggy's... Full review

I have always loved the Muppets. This is one of their best movies. It was very touching. Whenever the Muppets were on, I would always watch them. When I saw this movie, I knew it would be an instant hit, and... Full review

I love the muppets. Any movie that the muppets are in is great. The muppets always leave me with a smile on my face. I may be 20 years old but I will always and forever love the muppets.... Full review
The Best of the Muppet Films.

Very fun and impressive third Muppet movie has our heroes leaving college to make it big on Broadway in New York. Once again cameos and fun songs make up the film that re-captures the charm that "The Muppet Movie" had,... Full review

I distinctly remember seeing "Muppets Take Manhattan" in the movie theater when I was 8 years old--following the film, I immediately demanded that my parents purchase the soundtrack LP (yes, on vinyl!). I loved this movie then; I love it... Full review
Not their best

Hotoil - imdb.com
This is my least-favorite of the three Muppet movies of the Henson era. There just isn't enough Muppets. Most of the gang leaves during the very beginning and it's all about Kermit, Piggy and Rizzo. Great characters, yes, but without... Full review

Not even a case of accident-related frog amnesia or Jenny-inspired pig jealousy can keep Kermit from finally interesting a Broadway producer (Art Carney)-make that his son (Lonny Price)-in "Manhattan Melodies" and rounding up the gang again to pull it off. ... Full Review

his little pitch meeting with Kermit is easily one of the movie's highlights.....The writing talent of people like Frank Oz and Jim Henson is simply no longer there.....the characters as well drawn.....though they've clearly lost an artistic step or two, it'd only take a decent writing department to bring them back in style..... ...

The movie uses its setting in clever and consistently amusing ways. It may be relevant to note that THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN came out when very few movie musicals were being done anymore, and those that were (FAME, FLASHDANCE) hardly fit into the innocent mien of the good old days. ...

A wonderful subplot has Kermit struck with amnesia....Pic boasts effective cameos (though not as potent as the first film), best of which are Joan Rivers comfortably ad libbing with Miss Piggy (played by Oz) and Dabney Coleman doing slapstick as an unscrupulous producer..... ... Full Review

Chicago Sun-Times
THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN is yet another retread of the reliable old formula in which somebody says "Hey, gang! It's still a good plot. I liked the scenes in which you persevered. You basically had a supporting role, making the humans look good. ... Full Review
