Trivia
The last Muppet movie to have Frank Oz's involvement. For most of production, Frank Oz was not available so substitute puppeteers performed his characters, and Oz later dubbed the voices during post-production. See more »Goofs
The yellow spyglass prize from the cereal box is in Gonzo's hand in one instant, then back in the cereal bowl in the next. See more »Crazy Credits
Kaleidoscopic images of various Muppet characters appearing in the film (Gonzo, Kermit, Miss Piggy and others) are the backdrop to the credits. See more »Soundtracks

There is not enough story but nevertheless the movie is enjoyable but it simply is also far from great.
I don't know why but for some reason the movie doesn't seem so much fun as the other Muppet movies. Maybe and probably it's because of the empty script that focuses too much on Gonzo and not enough on the fun feeling of the movie that all other Muppet movies do have.
Still the movie is highly enjoyable and it has some great comical moments that will at least put a smile on you face. And how could you not laugh at a Muppet movie with so many great, fun and weird characters. The ones that really steal the show in this movie are Pepe and Rentro but of course all the other Muppet characters are also more than funny and great.
Worth watching simply and only because of the Muppet characters and if you want to have some fun 84 minutes, otherwise you will end up only disappointed by this lacking movie.
5/10
