FUNKY...CLUNKY...SPUNKY...MUPPETS MILLENNIAL MADNESS...A GOOD SCI-FI SPOOF

It's an Era of Extraterrestrial Examination from Star Wars and Beyond.

The Public's Fascination with UFO's, Flying Saucers, and E. T. has Invaded Muppet Space as Gonzo is Receiving Messages that at First No One Believes.

"I Want to Believe"

Freakish Gonzo the Great is All Alone in a Place where Everyone, it seems, has Others of its Kind to Associate.

This Leads to a Story that Spoofs Space Stuff in Popular Culture as Everyone Awaits an Arrival.

References Abound and the Non-Stop Reflections and Nods are a Treat,

for Adults and Maybe Even for a Few Little Precocious Movie Patrons.

The Movie is a Non-Musical Uncommon on the Big-Screen Muppet Movies.

Although it is Peppered with Funk Songs that Background with Beats,

as the Gang has Close Encounters with Government Agents Like the "Men in Black", Mad Scientists, Outlandish UFO Cult Mobs, and More.

The Film, to its Detriment, Relies a bit Too Much on Frenzied Movement and Chaos Instead of Dead-Pan Laughs that is the Muppet MO.

Although there is Plenty to Arouse Chuckles and Belly Laughs.

This Time the Cameos are a Disappointment.

But, after-all, this is THE MUPPETS and are the Uplifting Companions of Multiple Generations and are Still Around to this Day.

They are Inherently Charming and Fun.

Anytime They are On the Big-Screen (of course originally a TV Show) They are Welcome and are Always...

Worth a Watch.
