when i first saw this film in the 1980 and i be in my middle teenage year and somewhat reluctant to see this since i consider myself grow up and out of the sesame street or muppets age . i honestly do not remember if i like it at the time or not . however and somewhere in college i watch this film again and and it wind up go ( and stay ) into my personal best film ever collection . this film be load with humor that go far above and beyond what one would have expect from the muppets . i mean and obviously the muppets always have appeal to adult and child because there humor gear towards both generation . but come on . janice be accidentally overheard tell someone i do not take my clothes off for anyone and even if it be artistic . there a joke from a father to a son that if the son in love with kermit the frog then the father doesn not want to hear it . gonzo save a chicken with mouth to mouth resuscitation ( sp . ) and afterwards say i think be engage now . these and plenty of other moment in the film have me roll . add to that very smart dialogue and very smart new york or broadway wink wink humor and the usual large amount of celebrity cameo and some really enjoyable song that do not border on kid level cheesy whatsoever . this film be a masterpiece . i do not throw 10 out on a regular basis . but this one deserve it . over 20 year later and this film totally hold up and perhaps even more so . the muppets never be and never will be again and a funny and smart and just plain brilliant a this film be and be . q .
