The muppets are my favorite! Im a huge disney fan and the muppets are my favorite... This movie is really cute and its not like the older Muppet movies, so dont compare it to them

Being in my 40's and growing up with muppet movies makes this very nostalgic for me. I was glad to see them all again on the big screen. Timeless fun never ends with these guys. So glad to share with my kids. Great movie to watch with the whole family!!

at random times i have to do the doo doo doo do do do manah manah..lol. its so catchy.. and this was such a cute movie for kids of this generation.

I loved this movie, usually I get automatically turned off by musical movies, but the songs are catchy and cute and the acting is great. I loved the story and it kept me interested. Excellent family movie, didn't get sick of it when my daughter watched it 24-7

Very cute movie. Humor for kids and adults. Great family night movie!

best!! awesome songs, and realistic ending, ( kinda)

Its a cute little movie

My favorite movie of the 2011 awards season year is "The Muppets". I grew up with the Muppets, and this movie was very true to their appeal from back in the day. I remember wielding my Miss Piggy lunchbox to school and an awesome field trip to see a Muppets exhibit at the local museum. It was an even better excursion than the unexplained elementary school excursion to a brewery, but I digress. My kids, who are more familiar with the "Sesame Street" gang enjoyed the movie as well. There was enough subtle humor for grown ups and slapstick for little ones (or big ones with that sort of sense of humor) to be fun for the whole family. There is a great work scene where everyone pitches in to get ready for "a big show" set to Starship's "We Built This City." I found this a hilarious touch, and my children think it's just a cool song exclusive to the movie. (We own the movie soundtrack and have preordered the film on DVD.) And it is chock full of celebrity cameos. For personal reasons, I really enjoyed the Donald Glover cameo, as I am a huge fan of "Community." But there's a pivotal cameo by Jim Parsons that just about steals the show, in my opinion. The main actors in the movie are wonderful. Amy Adams is a sheer delight, and Jason Segel gives a great performance that really honors his admiration of the Muppets. And, of course, I cannot overlook the Muppets themselves. I was holding back tears as Kermit reflected on the good old days with his long lost pals, who had fallen out of touch. And forget trying to hold back the water works when he sings a duet of "Rainbow Connection" with Miss Piggy that ends up as a group number. Unfortunately, most movie awards do not consider family friendliness or cool cameos as legit award criteria, but the song "Man or Muppet" is up for a Best Original Song Academy Award. The performance of that song in the movie was one of my favorite moments in the flick. The way the Oscar song selections rules and regulations work, there are actually only two songs nominated in the category this year- the other is from "Rio" and was penned by Sergio Mendes and his crew. Yes, THAT Sergio Mendes of 80s lyric fame. Fingers crossed "Man or Muppet" will win with those 50/50 odds. No offense, Sergio.

Really cute, a good movie for kids..

Cute! This was a cute movie. It had great humor. I loved that my kids got to enjoy the muppets like I did. They loved the music.

Jason Segel, you can do no wrong. This movie is perfection. I'm 31 w/ no kids and I still watch this movie regularly. I'm a bit sad to learn that Mr. Segel won't be in the next movie, as I feel he was a vital part in this one being so wonderful.

What a terrific movie! I'm a big fan of the Muppets and truly loved the idea of a story bringing them back. I wanted my children to experience the same characters I grew to love. With this movie they indeed got to see how fun the Muppets are and how entertaining they can be. I agree with other posts that this can be enjoyed by the whole family, and truly enjoyed all the cameos.

Very cute movie that my whole family enjoys. Shockingly, my 6-year-old son is the one who requests it the most.

I never saw the original muppets movie. So I have nothing to compare it to. However, I love this movie. I actually watched it today. We are always singing the songs. Too catchy!

surprisingly cute and funny.
