n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The great muppet caper (1981) is the next film in the muppet movie series. I think it's better than the the muppet movie (1979). I love the the muppet movie (1979), but I think that this one is 1) more entertaining and 2) better made cinematically. I think it has better dialogue and I think that the plot is more interesting. I liked the story and I loved the musical numerous musical numbers throughout the film. The characters are of course the same as always. I liked the chemistry and the interaction all the characters on screen had. Charles Grodin was a good villain and he was also funny, he's got a good sense of humor. The plot and how it's executed is all done very well. Again, just like the first muppet movie, this sequel is perfect for family viewing. The kids will surely like the mild action scenes and I think most everyone will enjoy everything else the movie has to offer. I 100% suggest this great film for everyone and anyone who thinks this is something they'd like and enjoy. It's not too over the top childish, except for the action/violence. Can't do anything too rough obviously lol. But everyone should know the kind of content they're in for with this type of film. 10/10 for The Great Muppet Caper! Very fun, well done and funny movie.

Since I rewatched The Muppet Movie yesterday in anticipation of going to see The Muppets sometime this week, I thought I'd do the same with The Great Muppet Caper. Another very entertaining movie almost from beginning to end with only a slightly underwhelming opening number and partially amusing newspaper office scene with Jack Warden the only minor blips. Otherwise, Jim Henson as director keeps things entertaining throughout especially when he has Miss Piggy do her tribute to Esther Williams and when he has the whole Muppet gang on bikes which was impressive enough in the last movie when only Kermit was doing it. Oh, and how awesome to have seen him in a very recognizable cameo in the nightclub scene! It's during that scene that the Oscar-nominated song, "The First Time It Happens" is performed. It lost to the just as good "Best That You Can Do" from the original Arthur. In fact, all the songs by composer-lyricist Joe Raposo have such a feel good quality that you'll want to listen to them over and over again. No surprise knowing he was the resident "Seseme Street" songwriter with such classics like "Bein' Green" and "Sing" among that show's highlights. Once again, such human celebrities like Diana Rigg and Charles Grodin add their own touches to the proceedings not to mention cameos by such luminaries like Peter Falk, Robert Morley, Peter Ustinov, and especially John Clesse their own sense of humor. There's another Muppet cameo here that I don't feel like revealing that I was amused by but I'll just now say that The Great Muppet Caper is highly recommend by me. Next I'll either review The Muppets or something else-TV or movie related to the creatures-in this site. Stay tuned...

Now, I think I can tell you my perspective on this movie from two points of view: When I was a kid and when I became an adult. As a kid, you take things for granted like the amazing puppet work in this movie, the set design, the great script. All you see if you're a kid watching this movie is a bunch of colorful characters involved in a light-hearted crime drama.But from the perspective of an adult, you appreciate everything in this movie. You appreciate the wacky humor which constantly breaks the fourth wall(even in the emotional scenes), and all the cameos from some terrific actors. You've got John Cleese, Peter Ustinov, Jack Warden, and even Peter Falk! Even though these are just cameos, this film has some terrific star power and actually appreciates those great actors that don't get nearly the appreciation they do today.This movie is seriously, seriously funny. The muppets are all wonderfully realized characters who actually all serve a dramatic purpose in the framework of the film, and they interact beautifully with the main stars of the film, Charles Grodin and Diana Rigg.Charles Grodin is excellent as this thief named Nicky who really steals the show with his fantastic overacting, which actually works to this movie's advantage and serves to make it even funnier.But seriously, if you've never seen The Great Muppet Caper before, you're missing out. The Muppets crack wise and tell great jokes in practically every scene and this film will leave you satisfied with a big smile on your face. This is actually the perfect family film. It's not too sappy, and even when you think it's going to get to that point, it goes in the opposite direction.

I will begin to say that I do think that Muppet movies such as Treasure Island and Christmas Carol are just as delightful, but The Great Muppet Caper will always have a special place in my heart. From the hilarious opening credits to the rollicking finale, this is just a hugely enjoyable film, with just one or two minor discrepancies. The Muppets are great as usual, Jim Henson especially as Kermit. It was such a shame that he died, he was such a talented man, though Steve Whitmire is a very good replacement in the later Muppet films. Great to see Sam the Eagle, Fozzie, Wrolf and Rizzo. Out of the human cast, Charles Grodin and Diana Rigg are very good, Grodin with his charm and Rigg with her frostiness, though if anything I wish the two stars had more screen time. Not to mention the amusing cameos from John Cleese and Peter Ustinov. The songs were very pleasant, perhaps not as memorable as ones in other Muppet films but First Time It Happens is one of my all time favourite Muppet songs, and there are some clever jokes about British eccentricity and what have you. My favourite Muppet and the the best aspect of the film, or for me anyway, was the always wonderful Miss Piggy, who delighted in every scene she was in. She was particularly sensational in the musical numbers especially the restaurant and pool scenes, where the choreography is just dazzling. Overall, a great movie, that is definitely up there with the Muppets best. 10/10 Bethany Cox
