Review of The Muppet Movie (1979) by Mark W — 30 Oct 2009

I loved the Muppets as a kid but I've not returned to their movies since middle school. I think I've always been afraid that it would be one of those things that I liked as a kid but now it hasn't aged well.

But with the prospect of becoming a parent close at hand, I decided to return to The Muppet Movie. I realized that not only does it hold up but I enjoy it more now. Sure the guest stars are dated (which might be the only fault) but the comedy is timeless.

I found myself smiling a lot and singing along - it's just so full of joy and I can't wait to share it with my daughter.
