The Muppets move from classic literature to sci-fi adventure in Muppets From Space. The film follows Gonzo’s search to find out who he is and where he comes from after he seemingly receives a secret message from beyond. The series returns to the cameo format and features appearance by David Arquette, Ray Liotta, Kathy Griffin, and Andie MacDowell, among others. However, a lot of the Muppet brand of humor is missing; breaking the fourth wall, impromptu musical numbers, etc. In fact, the music in the film is completely uncharacteristic of the Muppets, it’s all retro pop music instead of original song and dance numbers. There’s fun and laughs to be had in Muppets From Space, but it’s not true to the Muppet formula of comedy or to the characters themselves.

Really wish this wasn’t filled with wall-to-wall disco
