    I?m glad the Muppets didn?t die when Jim Henson did. His son did a good job here but it?s not quite the same! I still love the Muppets though!

    Ahhh the best Muppet flick, truely cozy, warming, fun, loving, funny and great songs. The whole idea is such a winner, I love Gonzo and Rizzo telling the story, they really are funny. What better way to spend a cold snowy night in.

    very promising from the start but drooped off into mediocrity by the middle and stayed there. best part was the first 10 minutes. then just turn the TV off!

    it's quite good, not really my bag, but a good film for families and big kids

    Anything ever done by the Muppets will always have a place in my heart. Henson was the greatest when I was growing up, and his work always will be!!

    Family tradition, what can i say. John Denver & the Muppets cd and now the movie too. I never had a chance. I was brain washed from a young age

    I just do not like muppets.

    Of course its good. Henson, Christmas, Carols... you could rate this movie with a no-look. In all seriousness though greatv depiction of the Christmas Carol and he of course played it safe by going with Dickens original story.

    Fun muppet version of the classic Charles Dickens story.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Like all the Muppet movies, this one is a musical, with original songs by Paul Williams (my favorite is the early chain-rattling duet by the Marley brothers). It could have done with a few more songs ... full review
