Editorial DVD Review

[Top]

Muppets from Space is the film that answers the immortal question: what species is Gonzo? Kermit the Frogs curly nosed friend feels alone in the world. When his breakfast cereal starts spelling out questions & he hears disembodied voices, Gonzo is convinced he must be from outer space, & his alien brothers are coming to earth. Of course, there are evil scientists who kidnap Gonzo to learn his secrets . 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. Its not as memorable as earlier Muppet films, but nevertheless the joy & sly humour will warm most souls age 5 & up. Human cameos include Ray Liotta, Andie MacDowell, David Arquette, & F. Murray Abraham . , Doug Thomas
