Pros: The Muppet family is strong in this one... and the Wedding!
Cons: Too many humans, some rehash of "The Muppet Movie" plot
Summary: For the last 19 years, a debate has split the Muppet-loving community in two. Happily, these things almost never end in violence, because the majority of Muppet lovers are rather spindly, and tend to flail their arms around a lot when they get excited. ... read more

Pros: Clever use of the beloved Muppet characters.
Cons: Plot and situations were old when Mickey and Judy did them.
Summary: Despite a certain mismatch between audience and subject matter, my When a Man Loves a Woman concert was a success. Those darling gay boys took great delight in making me feel welcome in their society. When I told them I had been feeling a bit ... read more

Pros: songs, characters, storyline, gags

Summary: I've seen this movie dozen of times since its release in 1984. And for some reason even I can't thoroughly understand, I grow more emotionally involved with "The Muppets Take Manhattan" every time I see it.
The pic is a celebration of the old ... read more

Pros: Comedy, song and dance, sad parts, and great muppeteering.
Cons: None.
Summary: “The Muppets Take Manhattan” is my favorite of all of their movies, and I think it stands on par with most other movies as well. The best part of it are the two levels of humor: one for the kids and one for the grown-ups. I’m 22, and I still watch it ... read more

Pros: Hey, it's the Muppets!
Cons: Not their best work; weak on music, & the most dated of all Muppet movies.
Summary: The Muppets Take Manhatten is an okay movie for Muppet fans. Back in the 80's, the Muppets had been gone for a while (the Muppet show had stopped production a few years back & Jim Henson was working on other projects). Then this came out, and our ... read more

Pros: Good songs, fun Muppet adventure
Cons: Unoriginal and too different from other films in the series
Summary: The third film featuring Jim Henson's television creations is an enjoyable, if unbalanced, romp through a very old looking New York from the mid-eighties. While perhaps one of the weaker of the currently six major Muppet films, their Manhattan ... read more
