That first film with the muppet crew had to be a success; this time it was more difficult. Nonetheless, the caper plot that Henson and company worked out manages to hold adult interest for quite a while.

During their late-70s heyday the Muppets won huge TV audiences with their corny puns and showbiz in-jokes, but stretched to feature length the formula loses some of its snap.

The usual pleasures are all here, but the puppeteers seemed especially intent on giving themselves logistical challenges this time around.

...just as silly and uneven as its predecessor.

Perhaps the shallowest of the three classic Muppet films... But even an imperfect Henson movie is bound to have quite a lot of charm.

Like its predecessor, this film is its own best fan.

The songs are routine, but the inconsequential plot leaves plenty of time for engaging asides.

The movie contains several more cheery, Disneyesque songs than are necessary, but they are made tolerable by the presence of Kermit and Miss Piggy.

A brisk and consistently funny family entertainment. [new DVD review]

We don't care about some dumb diamond the size of a baseball, and as Muppet fans we're probably also indifferent to Henson's ambition to satirize old movie genres.
