The Muppets Take Manhattan

I did seen this movie too

Not the greatest but still good

“The Muppets Take Manhattan”, the last of the original theatrical trilogy put together by Jim Henson himself, is built around an extremely clever script, a brilliant gag which - as part of its concept - was deliberately discussed/spread by the media soon after its original theatrical run. This hilarious and clever approach had the effect of both delighting and amusing those who had already seen it, *and* (unfortunately) spoiling it for those who hadn’t yet. If for some lucky reason you do not know about what happens in this movie, do yourself a HUGE favour - avoid *ALL* spoilers at all costs, watch it right now spoiler-free, and read no further. Okay, hopefully those who haven’t encountered it yet just followed my advice above, and I trust they aren’t reading the rest of this. If you already *have* seen this movie, then by all means continue. ;) Those lucky spoiler-free people will be able to fully appreciate and enjoy this clever all-ages movie which does a surprisingly excellent job of convincing its viewers that it’s about a particular storyline - only at the last minute turn itself completely inside out and reveal itself to really be about something else. While watching it, it seems to be pretty straightforward, maybe even somewhat routine, filled with gags and great songs. But then - in the best self-aware, hilarious Muppet tradition - the whole movie’s “story” goes out the window as we discover that the whole reason the movie exists in the first place was because the entire production was all a huge, elaborate scam secretly devised by Miss Piggy with the others to trick Kermit into marrying her without his knowledge! ;D In other words, we laugh, and we REALLY laugh, because not only were we fooled, but the script is such a hugely brilliant giant gag! This is not the first time Miss Piggy and the others have collaberatively attempted this, either - in a curious sign of foreshadowing it was also attempted in an episode of “The Muppet Show” itself in which the entire gang was attempting to trick Kermit into performing in a “staged wedding scene” which was secretly real. The whole thing was foiled at the last minute when Kermit, feeling uncomfortable and sensing that something wasn’t right, balked at the last minute and instead announced the bommerang fish thrower, which saved his bachelorhood for the moment. Until this movie. Heh heh heh...

It is an awesome movie. The muppets go out and try and make money because they are poor. And piggy is spying on Jenny and Kermit and think that they are in love.

I don't know how anyone could not like the muppets they are hilarious and funny and I can never get enough of them<3

Going to download this is it worth it?

One of the best muppet movies ever!

I absolutely love this movie, but when I saw it on TV, it said the movie was released in 1984. Did they re-do it? Or was it wrong? Anyway, it's still an awesome movie.
