This was my favorite muppet movie growing up. It's one of my daughter's fav movies now at 2.5 years. we have an old beat up VHS and I bought it on DVD because that VHS will break sooner or later and this is a necessary part of my collection :)

Who buys this movie and doesn't already know what it's about?? Actually, I take that back... show more

Who buys this movie and doesn't already know what it's about?? Actually, I take that back... I was a bit older when I first saw this movie. Like, 7 or 8. If you love the Muppets, nope, take that back too because if you love the muppets then you've already seen this... but if you just LIKE the muppets or have yet to experience a muppet performance then you have to watch this movie and laugh. This is my personal favorite of all the muppet films.

This movie will keep you laughing the who way through. show more

This movie will keep you laughing the who way through. Every child and adult should see this. What a great way to spend family time. Another great from Jim Henson. Seller delivered quickly, movie works great. Couldn't be more satisfied would buy from you again. Thanks

I loved the Muppets as a kid and I still love them. show more

I loved the Muppets as a kid and I still love them. I've been amassing Muppets DVDs for my son so he can enjoy them as much as I did. Jim Henson was a genius! The Great Muppet Caper and the Muppet Movie are very entertaining and fun to watch for adults and kids. I highly recommend them!

I think of all of the Muppet movies, that this one really captures the most what the zaniness of the Muppets is really all about. show more

I think of all of the Muppet movies, that this one really captures the most what the zaniness of the Muppets is really all about. It's the closest to being crazy like The Muppet Show was. Most Muppet fans will tell you that the original Muppet Movie was the all out classic, and yeah, its good, but this: the second of the films, really works as an all out classic comedy. It's got everything.

First and most importantly they put the rock band to great use... The Electric Mayhem. I still totally dig the Mayhem and I don't know why they never put out an official album. The members of the group get a lot of the best lines in this one, even the unsung ones like Janice and Floyd... and they trash around alot in the Mayhem van, which is totally sweet. Secondly, The Happiness Hotel rules. I wish I could live in a Hotel run by rats, and when pay time came along I had the option of C:"sneakin out in the middle of the night."

Anyway, heres a quick overview of the plot. Fozzie and Kermit are twin brothers, yeah, I could never tell them apart either... and they work for a newspaper with Gonzo. Right away they blow the hottest story in the press, even though they were the only reporters to actually be on the scene... hey, they were too busy dancing and singing. Ooops. In order to make good with their boss (Jack Warden, perfect!) they go to London to find jewel and fashion diva Lady Holiday for the inside scoop. Miss Piggy has a raging thing for Kermit and pretends to be the famed Lady Holiday, leading our boys off the trail, while meanwhile Charles Grodin and a band of stunning ladies Marla, Carla and Darla, are involved in a scheme to frame Miss Piggy and steal the Baseball Diamond from the Mallory Gallery. By the time the action really starts rising, the jokes and one liners come flowing at a insane pace. You really got to pay attention, because its easy to miss some of the films best dialouge. I guess I can't spoil it for you, but theres like a hundred great lines in this bit. Also a great scene with Peter Faulk on a bench that I like alot. In the end, this movie spawned some bits that would be used again in future Muppet outings, but here is when they were fresh and at their best. Jim Henson was a straight up genius, and though his company still produces films, they just can't provide the magic that he brought to the table. I highly recommend this one over all other Muppet movies.
