More entertaining than humanly possible.

Had this on in the background on-and-off throughout the day. Not the most active watch, but here are some thoughts:
• The full body shot of Kermit riding a bicycle is insanely funny to me.
• The full body shot of Fozzie on stage at the El Sleezo is also insanely funny to me.
• El Sleezo . . . Hahahahahaha!
• As a kid I had no idea what "drinks on the house" meant.
• As a kid I didn't really didn't know who any of the cameos were, outside Steve Martin and maybe Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor (because of The Toy).
• Frank Oz's performance on "Never Before, Never Again" -- especially the climax -- is comedy… -

Classic movie. The humor still holds up, and is relevant. The reboot was great and took a lot from the original. However, the original really used it's cameo strategy to their advantage. The cameos push this movie to the next level.
Maybe it's the nostalgia talking, but the songs were better, as well. "Moving Right Along" just makes me happy every time I hear it.

Now, here's a movie I have fond memories of. The Muppet Movie. The first of it's kind and back when I was a kid, one of the better films The Muppets starred in. As an adult there are certain elements of my childhood I have attempted to cling on to, The Muppets has recently become one of them thanks to the thoroughly enjoyable "The Muppets" released last year here in the UK.
Now, before i watched this as 22 year old man I was a little worried that a movie from 1979 wouldn't hold up as well in front of my adult eyes as it did in front of the eyes of a child all those years ago. Thankfully my…

Gonzo's song is the best one

The humor is smart and snappy, and the classic Muppet characters have a special aura of fun and purity. Dom DeLuise, James Coburn, and Telly Savalas all make cameos in the first few minutes and are followed by many others, including Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor, and Orson Welles! A magical movie for all ages.

I was once asked what movie I would watch if I could only watch one more, and then had to die immediately after. After some thought, I decided on The Muppet Movie, because if any film could send me to my grave happy, it would be this one. It’s beautiful to look at and its music is beautiful to listen to. It’s fun and funny. And it tells a good story. Every time I watch it, it once again has me laughing and smiling. It’s timeless and unmatchable, and it’s one of my favorite films. For more on why, read my full review.
