Muppets from Space

"(This) Muppets movie lacks the kind of excitement the first ones generated..."

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

"It doesn't have quite the charm of previous outings but it's bright, zippy and eminently likeable with a slew of intentionally bad jokes."

"Muppets From Space more or less gets the voices right... but a spark is still missing from the film's gags, setpieces, and overall pacing."

"Smart and winning, this sixth Muppet feature film comes closest to recapturing the pure joy of the 1979 original, The Muppet Movie."

"It's a relief to discover that Muppets From Space is the best Muppet movie for some time..."

"Fans of the old series will enjoy this outing, I think, though it lacks the chaotic, near-subversive spirit of that show."

"Working from a funny, punny script... director Tim Hill keeps things moving fast enough to meet the demands of short attention spans."

"This ploddingly whimsical musical caper... is enough to make you want to see them get slapped around by the Teletubbies (at this point, a far funkier crew)."

"The Muppets are as cute as ever and there are more than a few flashes of adult humour to keep grown-ups laughing right along with the kiddies."
