1. Not as good as the original Muppet Movie, but close.
2. The fact that this plot is not original does not deter you, Kermit, nor should it. It's still a good plot.
3. During the 94 minutes of this delightful movie, the Muppets graduate from college, hit New York, are parted and reunited minutes before curtain-up, with Kermit saved from amnesia by a right hook from Miss Piggy.
4. The movie is breezily fun and every bit as entertaining as its predecessors.
5. A genuinely fun confection of old-fashioned entertainment.
6. Not as good or as hip as its predecessors, but the Muppet gang remains fairly charming.
7. Maybe the least-appreciated and best Muppet movie.
8. Despite including some of the darkest overtones of any of the Muppet movies, [it] is undoubtedly the sweetest and most nakedly good-natured, almost to the point of dysfunction.
9. The weakest of the Henson-era Muppet movies, but still a charmer.
10. The Muppets are always great. Heartbreaking plot with a joyous end.

What is a brief summary of the following reviews?
If it's not quite as sharp as The Muppet Movie, The Muppets Take Manhattan is still a smart, delightfully old-fashioned tale that follows the formula established by the first two movies -- a madcap adventure assisted by a huge group of human stars.
