What to Know

Critics Consensus

If Muppets from Space lacks the magic and wit of its cinematic predecessors, this pleasingly silly space romp is funny and clever enough to make for better-than-average family entertainment.

The Muppets were once devilish and sly, but this ploddingly whimsical musical caper, which uses too many '70s soul songs to signify its rainbow-demographic cred, is enough to make you want to see them get slapped around by the Teletubbies!

In terms of Jim Henson-style wonderment and overall cleverness, "Muppets from Space" comes up short. It's entertaining enough, but lacks the magic the Muppets are so skilled at summoning. Go to Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Nov 29, 2009

Robert P @Superbad 18 hrs ago Muppets From Space is a *3* star Movie! See more Adam N @RT93209334 Jun 7, 2026 Another black sheep of the Muppet movies, "Muppets From Space" demonstrates that middle-ranking Muppet films are better than almost anyone else on top form. While the lack of original songs is unfortunate, the film makes up for it; it puts good use to the music it does have (I quite enjoy its "Celebration" cover), includes gags that fit the signature Muppet fashion, and has a great message about identity and found family, the latter of which isn't often done well in most films. It also marks the return of several Muppets who had either been silent or absent entirely after the passing of Jim Henson and Richard Hunt, including Rowlf, Dr. Teeth and Scooter, to name a few; This was quite refreshing to see, as they had been practically invisible for nearly a decade up to this point. Despite its reputation, "Muppets From Space" is not the worst Muppet movie by any means (that would be "The Muppets' Wizard of Oz), nor is it a bad film at all. It is the franchise's most underrated installment. See more D3Z 1 @RT51637195 Feb 3, 2026 Whilst the Muppets From Space does have some laughs, it is far from its best in contrast to the other Muppets based film features. See more Patrick W @Patrick472 Sep 6, 2025 If you like the Muppets, you'll likely like this one, although it's not their best film. Bit of gossip - I heard Debbie Liebling insisted on an executive producer title on this film, even though they had hardly any input. The cheek! See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 29, 2025 The worldwide gross is $22,323,612.00. All ages admitted worldwide. See more Michael W. @MikeWolfe Jul 13, 2025 Excellent film to watch!
