Critics Consensus: 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.

Solzy at the Movies

Danielle Solzman

The Muppets Take Manhattan sticks to the working formula in earlier films and is an all-around enjoyable time.

The Muppets Take Manhattan marked Frank Oz's solo directorial debut and he did a wonderful job.

The Muppets Take Manhattan is a merry remake of any movie in which Mickey Rooney, Eddie Bracken, or Gene Kelly said to Judy Garland "C'mon, my dad says we can use the barn for our show."

...neither the stars nor the songs are a big draw this time around, but The Muppets Take Manhattan has an airy, lightweight quality that gets it over the finish line...
