I grew up watching the muppet show. I loved the muppet movie. I loved the great muppet caper. I loved muppets take Manhattan.
Now as an adult, I still love the muppet show and the muppet movie. I hadn't rewatched the great muppet caper since I was a kid. I remember it was great fun but couldn't remember any real details. So I was excited to watch it again with my kids.
The start was fantastic. Lots of jokes and everything was fun. However, once they got to Miss Piggy and the jewel plot, it all started to drag. There were still some good jokes here and there, and some very impressive puppetry too, but the story bored me to tears. My kids were very restless in the second half.
So all in all, it was a real let-down to revisit this movie. Thank goodness for Fozzy and Gonzo, who were the real stars of the show.
