Amazon.co.uk Review

Kermit takes centre stage in A Very Muppet Christmas Movie, a hilarious, parody-laden celebration of muppetry, pulsating with original music, a star-studded cast of human cameos, and a heartwarming story reminiscent of It's a Wonderful Life. Joan Cusack plays the deliciously villainous Miss Bitterman, a ruthless banker who succeeds in foreclosing on the Muppet Theatre only days before Kermit's Christmas extravaganza. As Kermit loses his livelihood, he plunges into the "I wish I'd never been born" mind-set instantly recognisable to George Bailey fans. It's going to take some divine intervention (Whoopi Goldberg is cast as God, no less), plus a little help from a heavenly "Clarence". Despite some moments where the script seems adrift and some humour that borders on the risqué, Fozzie and the gang are in fine form. The message is sweet: dreams are as vital to life as loyal friendships are to see them through. --Lynn Gibson

It's a Muppetful Life 11 Dec 2003
By Mark Baker TOP 500 REVIEWER
The mortgage is coming due on the Muppet Theater. If Kermit and company can pull off a spectacular Christmas show, they’ll be able to buy it. Otherwise, it’ll fall to the evil Miss Bitterman who inherited the bank from her recently deceased father. She wants them to fail so she can demolish the theater for a trendy nightclub. When things go wrong on Christmas Eve, it looks like the gang will be separated for good.

Fortunately, their plight has caught the attention of an angel in Heaven. When God sends “DannyL” down to help, Kermit wishes he’d never been born. The results surprise him. But how can his revelation that he does matter help them out of their situation?

If you think the plot of this movie sounds like another Christmas movie, you’d be correct. Still, the gang manages to keep us entertained through the entire story with a fantastic show at the theater and with Fozzie’s hilarious attempts to get the money to the bank on time to name a couple fun moments. Some of the jokes will go over kid’s heads, but will make adults laugh out loud. There seems to be a bit too much sexual humor, usually involving Joan Cusack’s Miss Bitterman character. Most of it will go over kid’s heads, but why it needed to be there in a kid’s movie is beyond me. Speaking of whom, Ms. Cusack is over the top, but in a fun, campy performance that does fit the movie. David Arquette is a tad bumbling as DannyL, but Whoopi is enjoyable as God. And there are more cameos then you can shake a stick at.

I guess my biggest complaint with the movie is that it’s not as funny as I was expecting. They take parts of the story quite seriously without the trademark gags and puns we expect from the Muppets. Still, it’s a fun Christmas movie that will be enjoyed for years to come.

Muppet mad 12 Jun 2010
Yes, you'd think this was bought for a child, but it was bought for me - and I'm 50! A great Muppet Christmas Carol fan I just had to have this DVD to add to my Christmas collection. It arrived in good condition and made for a lovely afternoon's viewing.

Forget The Muppet's A Christmas Carol. This is very far removed from it! It's a TV movie rather than a feature film so perhaps the comparison is a little unfair.

As has been said previously, this is The Muppets version of A Wonderful Life. All I can say is that it was OK with only one joke I can remember! Certainly not like the classic Muppets of old. The highlights for me were when the Grinch characters appeared and the Muppets musical version of A Christmas Carol (Moulin Scrooge!).

A couple of times that were references that I felt unsuitable for a young audience especially when we The Muppets theatre turned into a pole-dancing club!

OK but don't expect too much.
