The Muppet Movie introduced Jim Henson's famous characters to the silver screen, and what an entertaining experience it is watching the Muppets run through their hilarious routines and physical antics only puppets can do with such comic flair. There's also a relentless parade of celebrity cameos, most of whom are also used to good comic effect. (Steve Martin as a reluctantly accommodating waiter, for example.)

Although the plot is virtually nonexistent, there's enough fun, humor, and delightful finishing touches to make this highly entertaining for the young and young at heart.
