January 18, 2011Of all the Muppet movies I've seen, I enjoyed this the least. I couldn't follow the plot at some points and the story just didn't intrest me. The Muppets solving a mystery just isn't my type. But there is still funny quotes and the movie has its moments. That is why I am giving t... read more

January 10, 2011A good story, but not as funny as the first movie. I liked this movie when I was a kid, but now that I see it again, it's not as good as I remembered. Anyway, it's enjoyable and kids will like it.

September 22, 2009The Muppets come to London! Whoo Hoo, this might be my favourite of the Muppet films but only by a tiny bit. I love the Muppets!

July 19, 2008This Muppet film never really did it for me. It's certainly not the worst in the series, but it seems to lack the "magic" of the first two.

August 17, 2007Aw, probably the only Muppet Movie I didn't like. It was all British, and the Muppets are an American creation, so I wasn't too interested.

We don't care about some dumb diamond the size of a baseball, and as Muppet fans we're probably also indifferent to Henson's ambition to satirize old movie genres. Full Review

Vincent Canby, New York Times
The movie contains several more cheery, Disneyesque songs than are necessary, but they are made tolerable by the presence of Kermit and Miss Piggy. Full Review

Tim Brayton, Antagony & Ecstasy
Perhaps the shallowest of the three classic Muppet films... But even an imperfect Henson movie is bound to have quite a lot of charm. Full Review

That first film with the muppet crew had to be a success; this time it was more difficult. Nonetheless, the caper plot that Henson and company worked out manages to hold adult interest for quite a while. Full Review

The songs are routine, but the inconsequential plot leaves plenty of time for engaging asides. Full Review
