While not up to the other Muppet movies this one is still lots of fun.
As always, there is a message -- in this case it would appear to be "Believe in your friends."
Most of the music is not original -- lots of songs are covered by the Muppets and quite often they are by the original artists.
Since this is "Muppets from Space" they do manage to reference many Sci-Fi films; among them are: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the Star Trek television series, Independence Day and even manage to get in a bit of Indiana Jones.
Strangely enough the entire audience the day that I saw this movie was adults -- which is just as well because most of the humour was definitely more adult oriented.
Which is not to say that kids wouldn't enjoy it too. The colour, the action and the excitement would have lots of kids on the edge of their seats.
A somewhat pudgy Jeffry Tambor makes a very likeable antagonist with a bear as a mole in his society to prevent alien aggression.
This was a very wholesome movie, but like all the Muppet movies there really isn't a whole lot there.
