Amazon.co.uk Review
Muppets from Space is the film that answers the immortal question: what species is Gonzo? Kermit the Frog's curly nosed friend feels alone in the world. When his breakfast cereal starts spelling out questions and he hears disembodied voices, Gonzo is convinced he must be from outer space, and his alien brothers are coming to earth. Of course, there are evil scientists (led by The Larry Saunders Show's Jeffrey Tambor) who kidnap Gonzo to learn his secrets ("What do you do with a nose like that?"). The usual brand of merriment from the gang is in good order, especially in the opening scene when the Muppets, who all live together in one house, begin their morning routine, bafflingly set to the lyrically inappropriate "Brick House" by The Commodores. It's not as memorable as earlier Muppet films, but nevertheless the joy and sly humour will warm most souls age 5 and up. Human cameos include Ray Liotta, Andie MacDowell, David Arquette, and F. Murray Abraham (as Noah, no less). --Doug Thomas

Synopsis
One of the better Muppet features in recent years, MUPPETS FROM SPACE begins with Gonzo wondering where he came from and then promptly receiving messages from his alien brethren. Though the rest of the Muppet clan believe Gonzo insane, especially after he announces his revelation on Mrs. Piggy's talk show, he arouses the interest of an idiotic government official, which leads to his imprisonment. Kermit reluctantly realizes Gonzo is in trouble and brings his fellow Muppets to try and help him escape. This one features a soundtrack made up of mostly 70s funk and introduces a new Muppet - Pepe the prawn, who gets quite a few laughs here.

Customer Reviews

Release.... me...!!!!!
You may need serious medical help.

I can't start anywhere describing this. My son (who can do voices sometimes better than the originals) only had to say "cunningly disguised as a cement factory" at one stage and I wouldn't be able to breathe for about ten minutes without howling with laughter. The movie as an entirety is so far off the scale that nothing I can write can possibly do justice to this.

OK, OK, you win. Calm down a bit. Gonzo - this strange little character with the nose has some alien cousins, who eventually catch up with him, but we spend a lot of the film catching up with secret government organisations run by a bear (I must say, the most improbable bear I have ever seen, but that's the fun of it), a TV news channel highjacked by a certain pig, and what might be arguably the best pop video EVER, of a tune called Brick House which I have seen no less than thirty times over the last five years and each time I know I'm not ever, EVER going to get as good as that... Followed of course by mice on steroids, Cosmic fish, medical students and talking sandwiches. Though possibly not in that order.

It's a major act of certifiable insanity, one thing after another, but to top it all; and this is incredible, just as it was with their earlier "Christmas Carol"; tremendously warm and deeply touching.

It's bizzare that such a film goes right to the heart and says so many beautiful things in such bold letters about what it means to be alone, and yet not - to be loved, and what it means to belong; and it suddenly rushes at you like a locomotive out of control and hits you. I've seen this goodness knows how many times and still don't see this coming.

Worse awaits. If all the above was not enough, the commentary track will kill you. Several familiar voices appear (in character) and it's a bit stiff for all of five minutes while they get settled, and then it starts. Oh my, you might have to take a break or two. These guys - they never stop. not EVER! IT is almost too much - the comment about the moose ("not being a decaptitated moose, he was just standing the other side of the wall") and you realise that this thing works because of the absolute unrepressed genius of these people. They never take time off! They must be like this ALL THE TIME!

And at the end of all this, it's still the Muppets. Over here, calling someone a "Muppet" is a vague kind of insult; but as far as I'm concerned, sign me up.

I'm convinced.

crack up!
This movie makes for a very, very funny time. Start laughing from the very first scene until the very end; whether you are 5, 25 or 55, just let Kermit, Miss Piggy and Gonzo unleash the very child within you.
Unforgettable cameos by the likes of Andie McDowell, Hollywood Hogan and Ray Liotta add humour and wit.
Do check it out!

not the same
muppets in space is good but doesnt have the same muppet quality as the earlier films like muppets take manhattan and muppet treasure island.it has some good one liners but the plot isnt up to much.
