Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
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.

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

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.
– Roger Ebert,
