Okay- I know this sounds dumb, but I love this movie! At first, I thought it was going to be stupid when my little brother dragged me to see it. But I got to the theater, and absolutely loved it! The muppets are hilarious, and I have MALE friends who will suggest renting it at the video store (but only when "Rambo" is checked out). So if you're ever in need of clean humor, or need for some reason to find a good-quality, g-rated movie, give this a shot. You'll pee your pants, I swear!
This is my film of all time I LOVE it! It's def worth buying on video! It's a great laff!
I'm addicted. For more reason than one. I grew up on the Muppets...then the Muppet Babies...Seasme Street, Seasme Park..Fraggle Rock..Big Birds Adventures, Muppets Christmas...anything Jim Henson I saw it. The Muppets for me are like being a kid again. Stupid or not it's true, ask my boyfriend...we watch Muppets Tonight EVERY night!!!He likes them himself too for pretty much the same reason. Just yesterday we were saying how great the muppets were. Then we went sentimental, and brought up how on Sunday nights as children even though he lieved in London and I lived in Newfoundland, we would watch the Muppets and then Fraggle Rock before even attempting to go to bed peacefully.
mandy, you're awesome; i can totally identify! the muppets are great folks... why didn't i know that seasame street was done by jim henson? was it really?
ok, i've never seen Muppets Christmas Carol...but there was that older Christmans special I love. You know the one where the muppets, the sesame street charachters & even the fraggles are in? the "Watch out for the icy patch!!"
I suppose that Jim Henson created the characters for seasme street...they sure look like his work..and they're in most get together movie type things.

The in LevelI Literature heritage we were doing Dickens A Christmas Carol. I knew the Christmans Carol inside out and upside down from past Christmas' where I had been to anxious to sleep and stayed up late watching late night televison that was adorned with Scrooge or the Sound of Music, So I wasn't worried about reading the book.
My boyfriend wasn't exactly my boyfriend then *trial test out screening period*, we were just mutal friends and happend to be in the same lit. course. One day he made the suggestion of renting the Christmas Carol, I agreed as long as it wasn't the old tecnicolored Scrooge, Scrooged or the muscial version that looks more like Oliver Twist.
We went to six movie stores in ored to find one that wasn't any of the forementioned, and ye it happend to be the Muppets. It was meant to be, in more ways than one. We went back to my house and watched once, then again, again, and again with the company of my little sisters. Before we knew it was 3:00am and there was a snowstorm in process outside. He couldn't leave I wasn't arguing, so we watched it again. Then we became "we" just when Scrooge relized his errors. *aww*
blah blah yadda yadda..three years later we still rent Muppets Christmas Carol, and watch our own video of it. The renting process has sentimental value. Its the base foundation type thing of our relationship that we share. That and Disney's Toy Story which was the first movie he offically asked me too. I'm 18 and going on two...
"i just wanna be a kid"
