Muppets from Space Trailers

When Gonzo's breakfast cereal tells him that he's the descendant of aliens from another planet, his attempts at extraterrestrial communication get him kidnapped by a secret government agency, prompting the Muppets to spring into action. It's hard to believe Gonzo's story at first, but Kermit and friends soon find themselves on an epic journey into outer space filled with plenty of intergalactic misadventures.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

After a year on my DVR, I finally watched Muppets from Space just now. It's not as good as their first two movies or even the recent The Muppets but it was good enough for me to be reasonably entertained. Gonzo believes he's a space alien when he receives a message in his food. I'll stop there and just say that there were some good cameos from the likes of Ray Liotta and Kathy Griffin and a couple of players from a popular TV show of the time I won't mention here. Oh, and this was the last time Frank Oz voiced Fozzie and Miss Piggy who is used to fine effect here as an aspiring reporter of space aliens. So on that note, I recommend Muppets from Space.

I DO like this movie; I appreciate the wry humor and off beat references, but this is NOT a movie for young children...there are too many confusing adult references and the opening salvo of having Noah reject Gonzo for being "different" really upset my 3 year old granddaughter..And Miss Piggy getting repeatedly hit in the face was the final moment before we turned it off... however my 8 year old grandson really likes this movie..This is not your typical early issue Muppet Movie.. More appropriate for pre-teen and up.Pass this one by for the young members of your family!!

I love Muppets Treasure Island and Muppets Christmas Carol, mainly because I love Tim Curry, and Michael Caine was amazing as Scrooge, and I have always loved the Muppet Movie and Muppets Take Manhatton. In fact the only Muppet movie I don't really like is Muppets Wizard of Oz. Muppets From Space, while not as good as the older Muppet movies, is certainly enjoyable. One thing I didn't particularly like though was the soundtrack, a bit too 1970s style, and because of this, I was never too sure what time period the film was supposed to be. The plot of the film is very original, though you would assume the Muppets went to space without having read the plot line, and the jokes are funny, if less inspired than something from the Muppet Movie. It isn't quite true to the style of the older Muppet movies, but the film does try to and almost succeeds. The story focuses on Gonzo, and his story was very heartwarming. Any scene with Miss Piggy who I love is priceless, and Jeffrey Tambor makes the most of his role as Ed, the paranoid operative. I also liked the contributions from F.Murray Abraham, Andie McDowell, The Sweedish Chef and The Bear Sidekick.Nice also to see Kermit, Rizzo and Fozzie, not to mention Sam the Eagle, in short all your favourite Muppets, though the best scene is the beginning, not to mention the sandwich scene. Overall, enjoyable, not their best, but I do like it. 7/10 Bethany Cox.

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!
