Absolutely brilliant

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

"Muppets from Space" is a middling effort as these movies go; the customary wit has dulled and the crop of guest stars screams late '90s (Hollywood Hogan?). But there isn't really a "bad" Muppet movie out there; they all have their benefits. This one puts the "Muppets Tonight" players to good use (and more importantly, there's plenty of Bobo) and the clichéd funk song choices are still toe-tappers.6/10 Not to sound like I'm slamming the movie, but did we really need to know that Gonzo is a (SPOILER)? I mean, if humans are okay with Muppets walking around, couldn't he just be a . . . thing?

Muppets From Space (1999): Dir: Timothy Hill / Cast: Jeffrey Tambor, F. Murray Abraham, David Arquette, Andie MacDowell, Rob Schneider: Perhaps the worst of the Muppet films and a definite disgrace to the Jim Henson name. Story opens with a dream where Gonzo is rejected from Noah's ark. He sets out to find out who or what he is. His breakfast cereal indicates that he is from outer space. Too bad it didn't inform him that he was involved in a stupid family film. Jeffrey Tambor plays the villain and he has radar sightings of alien activity and he looks to kidnap Gonzo for tests. While Gonzo and Rizzo the rat chew as much scenery as possible, other Muppets are given little to do. Miss Piggy is featured as a talk show host, and Kermit the frog is given nothing to work with. Horribly directed by Timothy Hill who just doesn't seem to be with the spirit of the Muppets. Tambor is amusing in an otherwise thankless role of a cardboard villain. Other live actors overact to the extremes including F. Murray Abraham, David Arquette, Rob Schneider, and Andie MacDowell. All have done better work in much better films but here they are easily upstaged by the puppets. Sure, the Muppets are the film but the celebrity appearances should count for something other than what they are reduced to here. The whole idea surrounding Gonzo's existence had potential but unfortunately it is reduced to idiocy. Score: 2 / 10

Again, Andie MacDowell helped me to choose this movie. But with the Muppet, it wasn't totally "terra incognita" so I expected to have fun.The opening gag is excellent but right after, it sucks! I just slept…Maybe I was too tired, but the commentary helped me a lot: it is terribly boring as the Muppet tried to be silly and funny but just failed! It's the same for the bloopers bonus: a rather good idea but it lacks terribly of imagination! 20 scenes of about 4 seconds without a global play: it's just stupid! Even if the animation is good, and all the Muppet being there, the Muppet magic is gone as it doesn't make me laugh! In addition, the movie is rather dark (in a military base or at night) and the colors aren't very bright! Finally, for what I saw, Andie stars for maybe two minutes getting involved in a cat-fight with Peggy! That's all! Maybe she has got more screening time but it was during my sleep!

Lacking the rather esoteric seriousness of Science fiction movies like "2001 - A Space Odyssey" this Muppet-movie avoids the big question for the destination of humankind. Instead Gonzos rather touching search for his identity looks firmly at the "Conditio Muppetaine". We all have moments when we feel alien like Gonzo, when we don't know where we belong and who we are. But "space is not as deep as you think"! This film tells us an important message: We don't have to look into the endless and cold voids of the universe! The firm ground of our lives are rooted deeply in the people we live with. When Gonzo is in need of help and reconciliation, his friends stand by! This movie is entertaining and funny for children and grown-ups alike, last but not least because of its hilarious and likable Muppet cast. I also enjoyed (and highly recommend) the excellent funky soundtrack!
