About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sweet, silly musical comedy with familiar characters, upbeat songs, and lots of cameos, like The Muppet Movie or The Great Muppet Caper; Not for you if you need a tight, fast-paced plot.
Pros: lighthearted family humor; catchy songs; charming New York vibe | Cons: uneven second half; thin story; too many characters
