Starts off cheerily enough with the two best songs of this Muppet musical, "The Rainbow Connection" and "Movin' Right Along". After these two catchy numbers the first big screen outing for the Muppets kind of loses its way, despite some bright comedy.
All the favourites are here, including Kermie, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo and the gang. Even with the entire crew along, the film struggles to stay afloat for its hour and a half plus running time. Features an amazing gathering of guest stars, including Dom DeLuise, James Coburn, Richard Pryor, Madeline Kahn, Steve Martin, Mel Brooks, Elliot Gould, Bob Hope, Carol Kane, Telly Savalas, Orson Welles and Big Bird! Co-stars Charles Durning and Austin Pendleton.
PS Didn't James Frawley go on to direct "Fraternity Vacation"? Go figure!
