This is my second favorite Muppet movie after The Muppet Movie. One of the reasons I love it so much is because it relies more on Muppets and gags than humans and cute moments. Two things that the two most recent movies are bad about (as good as those movies are). This was long before Walter came along and Gonzo was one of the stars. I feel like all the Muppets really come to play here (Although Statler and Waldorf are underused) most especially Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Pops, and Beauregard. The music in this movie is great. You can't watch the bicycle and water scenes without being a little impressed. I am an aspiring filmmaker and I want to make some Muppet movies someday (partly because I'm worried that Muppets Most Wanted was the final nail in the coffin) and if I do I want there to be humans but I want them to take a backseat to the Stars themselves and that would be the Muppets. I intend to do a better job than the most recent movies have. The Great Muppet Caper is a perfect example of this and I highly recommend it! It's a classic!

The Great Muppet Caper continues the previous film's mixture of slapstick, star cameos, songs, comedic set pieces and adds a heist caper into it.Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear are twins who along with Gonzo play newspaper reporters who are dropped off over London to interview fashion designer Lady Holiday (Diana Rigg) who has just been robbed of her jewellery.Miss Piggy plays Lady Holiday's new receptionist who Kermit mistakes for Lady Holiday and Miss Piggy carries on with the pretence but Miss Piggy could be in the frame to being framed for the thefts.It is fun, full of corny jokes but it is not as appealing as the first film. It looks a bit cheap, the plot is a bit slow and the star cameos burn less brightly.

This is a decent enough Muppet film, with lots of fine moments and musical numbers. The underwater number with miss piggy in particular was a highlight.It does of course feature some nice human performances, and while not all of the cameos work (John Cleese!) on the whole this is a good second big screen outing for Kermit and the gang as they try to solve the mystery of what happened to Lady Holiday's (Diana Rigg)jewels.

Now, I think I can tell you my perspective on this movie from two points of view: When I was a kid and when I became an adult. As a kid, you take things for granted like the amazing puppet work in this movie, the set design, the great script. All you see if you're a kid watching this movie is a bunch of colorful characters involved in a light-hearted crime drama.But from the perspective of an adult, you appreciate everything in this movie. You appreciate the wacky humor which constantly breaks the fourth wall(even in the emotional scenes), and all the cameos from some terrific actors. You've got John Cleese, Peter Ustinov, Jack Warden, and even Peter Falk! Even though these are just cameos, this film has some terrific star power and actually appreciates those great actors that don't get nearly the appreciation they do today.This movie is seriously, seriously funny. The muppets are all wonderfully realized characters who actually all serve a dramatic purpose in the framework of the film, and they interact beautifully with the main stars of the film, Charles Grodin and Diana Rigg.Charles Grodin is excellent as this thief named Nicky who really steals the show with his fantastic overacting, which actually works to this movie's advantage and serves to make it even funnier.But seriously, if you've never seen The Great Muppet Caper before, you're missing out. The Muppets crack wise and tell great jokes in practically every scene and this film will leave you satisfied with a big smile on your face. This is actually the perfect family film. It's not too sappy, and even when you think it's going to get to that point, it goes in the opposite direction.
