Muppets - Muppets From Space (DVD)

...you should all know the Muppets by now, the guys off the well known, 'Sesame Street'!? There is the well know Kermit the Frog who has advertised 'Calvin Clein' in recent years, there is also 'Miss Piggy' the feminine but manly like tart and Gonzo the geezer with the massive nose! They all come together along with the zillion and one other muppets in this flik called, 'Muppets From Space' The film is really quite funny and suitable for all, yes ALL! ...

Review of Muppets - Muppets From Space (DVD)

...loving oddment called Gonzo. Muppets in Space concentrates on Gonzos inherant seperation from his muppet pals, caused by the fact that he has never met anyone of his own species, he isn't even sure if he HAS a species, and the events surrounding his attempts to decifer a message he reveives in typical surreal muppet style. To outline the plot and mention specific incidences would detract from the joy of experiancing this film for yourself, (and ...
...of warm unique humour the Muppets have delivered for so many years. Like most Muppet films, adults, children and family pets will enjoy this film equally. It has a few sideswipes at the SciFi genre, but rises above spoofness with touching performances from rodents, aliens, frogs , pigs , eagles, bears and big scary blue things. I like the Muppets, watch this, then rent out all the other muppet films, then buy the original series on video, then ...

Review of Muppets - Muppets From Space (DVD)

...the ad’s are finished and Muppets from Space is just starting. I smiled at my bloke and we decided to sit through what was to be one of the funniest children’s films ever. Now I have to admit that there is quite a lot of nostalgia involved. One of my earliest memories is of watching the Muppet show on a Friday night with my dad, whilst my mum was at the Bingo. I remember that I had to go to bed straight afterwards so it shows how young ...
...THERE?”. All the other Muppets think he is going mad, but he is convinced that he should watch the sky and see what happens. He sits on the roof for a while, and is then hit by a bolt of lightening, that sends him flying into outer space. He is met by Two Flying Space Fish ( taken any illegal substances recently Mr Henson?). They inform him the he must cut his lawn, and spell out a message that is visible in outer space to make contact with ...

Review of Muppets - Muppets From Space (DVD)

...When I was little, the Muppets used to make me howl with laughter and I still love them to this day! I remember the Muppet Show with guest stars like Billy Connelly and John Cleese. It was great. When I went on holiday to Disney in Florida, we went to see a 3D Muppet Show that was in an actual theatre! How cool was that?!? Being faithful to my other film reviews, I shall of course start of with another opinion! "It's the Muppets most enjoyable ...
...bit of my review... Muppets in Space has a U (universal) certificate, suitable for anybody of any age to watch. Running time: 84 minutes. Not too long but about average for a Muppet movie. A Jim Henson production teamed with Columbia Pictures. I will be talking about the VHS version of the film (and II have no ideas as to whether or not this is a DVD), which can be bought from all the usual places...HMV, WHSmiths and the like for around £7.99 ...

Review of Muppets - Muppets From Space (DVD)

Muppets From Space" is a funny film, but it lacks the passion that the previous Muppet films contained. The movie is charming, and has many new of the new Muppets that were introduced in "Muppets Tonight," including my favorite: Pepe, the Hispanic king prawn. The title is rather misleading, as it is not a Star Wars-like Muppet adventure through the galaxy, but an explanation about what Gonzo actually is. We enter the lives of the Muppets as they ...
...a Brickhouse." All of the Muppets live in the same house and live in a family-like environment with Kermit as the head of the household. The trouble begins when Gonzo's cereal starts to talk communicate with him, asking him "R U There?" This sends Gonzo on a personal odyssey to discover the true nature of his origins. Is he just a wacky "whatever," or is he actually an alien from another planet? As with most Muppet movies, real actors only make brief ...

Review of Muppets - Muppets From Space (DVD)

...was a convert to the muppets rather late in life, at least later than my contemporaries but up until now the standard of the Muppet films from Henson productions has been very high with plenty of wacky commedy. However, I have to say that I fell asleep in the cinema during this latest production Muppets from Outer Space. Its just a rag bag collection of predictable jokes spun together with a very weak story line. There is not really much else one ...

Review of Muppets - Muppets From Space (DVD)

...The 1999 installment of the Muppets came in the form of this "...From Space" plot. This particular adventure of the Muppets stars everyones favourite Muppet - The Great Gonzo. Gonzo feels alone in the world, he is tired of being classified as being a "whatever", and unclassified like his Frog, Piggy, Rat and Prawn friends. Things begin to become interesting when Gonzos alphabet cereal starts asking questions on his placemat. "Watch The Sky" and ...
...As the rest of the Muppets support him, but at the same time fear for his mental state - things take a turn for the worse, and hilarious as the Muppet adventure begins. Although the Muppets is aimed at children, I particularly enjoyed with a group of my student contemporaries and many older adults I know say they loved it as much as their children. The plot and script is strewn with adult comments and innuendos (that the children won't understand), ...

Review of Muppets - Muppets From Space (DVD)

Well I've been a massive Muppets fan for a long time, and even when Manhattan comes on Sky I can still watch it and love it. But.... This film is a little ropey at the best of times. After the brilliant Christmas Carrol, and an underrated Treasure Island, this is very disappointing. It has parts which are really very funny, but it's lacking any real direction, storyline, or flair (maybe something missing since the departure of Jim Henson himself....?) ...

Review of Muppets - Muppets From Space (DVD)

...people would think that the muppets are childish little puppets that kids love, BUT how wrong could they be? Every muppet programe is great and this is no different! It is a U rating, so everyone can watch it. It lasts for about an hour and a half. The characters? The main character is Gonzo and he is looking to find his place in the universe. The muppets go through a tough time but eventually find it... i can't tell you the rest or it will spoil ...
