Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

punishmentpark It may be unfair to rate and review a movie of which I've seen no more than some twenty minutes, but what does it say about that movie when I wasn't able to watch anymore of it? Why wasn't I able? A total absence of (succesful) humour. Some terribly annoying voices and characters.I was surprised to read so many positive reviews (on another movie site - I only read one on IMDb), and even more so to read that people think is a very good parody on The Muppet Show. The Muppet Show is an unparalleled series that has spot on characters and humour - for children and for adults. No extra pus, blood or porn can change that. In fact, it makes it even worse.On the positive side, I can always appreciate the creative camera work in Peter Jackson films and the artwork on the puppets is pretty nice.I was going to give it 3 out of 10, but since I haven't watched the whole film, just to keep it fair: 4.

Daniel Elford Got to be one of the most infantile, ridiculous films ever made. Good puppets and some amusing voice acting aside, I see no reason to recommend this film to anybody, for any reason; any intention Jackson had in mind is completely lost. It may be easy for some to assume that disliking this film is just an indication you only know him as the LOTR director, but in fact I am a fan of some of Jackson's work, both the big budget stuff and the small, and I appreciate that he pushed the boundaries of taste; I have no issue with the tone, I just wonder what made a talented film maker spend so much time on something so putrid, aimless and dull.

Rindiana Hollywood executives must have lobotomized Peter Jackson when he started the "Lord of the Rings" franchise, because his earlier New Zealand productions were so much better.Just look at this sickly cracking showbiz satire, complete with an array of mostly disgusting Muppets from hell, acting as a walking compendium of the seven deadly sins (and some more). The sheer audaciousness of this nightmare folly is to be applauded, but the astounding fact remains that behind all the cold misanthropic viewpoints on display there's still a beating heart pumping warm blood into this creatures.Certainly not to everyone's taste and riddled with too many drawn-out plot excesses, this one-of-a-kind pic still deserves a huge cult following.7 out of 10 panty-sniffing anteaters

Tommy Nelson Peter Jackson's early films are definitely cult flicks. Ultra violence and low budget, while still remaining watchable often times can lead to a cult, and this is no different. This is a bizarre film that shows the weakness in characters, such as drug addiction, sex addiction, STDs and more. The problem is, this movie focuses on over 10 different characters, each with their own sub-plot, so we never get a main plot. It's just a series of stories on puppets working on a show, and how they live their lives.Meet the Feebles is a popular show, starring an eclectic group of animals that sing and dance an perform amusing numbers. Backstage, things are completely different. Arguably, the main plot is that of Robert the Hedgehog, who is the newest Feeble. He is trying to woo Lucille, a chorus girl poodle. Other plots include Heidi the hippo whose lover and manager is cheating on her for Samantha the cat. This sends her in an eating rage, and later a violent rage. Sebastion the fox, the group's gay choreographer is trying to get a number in on the show, but it isn't until the stage goes into complete chaos that he gets it in. Trevor the rat, the manager of the manager, drugs and rapes Lucille. Harry the rabbit believes he's contracted a deadly STD. And many other sub-plots...This movie has no focus, and the constant switch of characters can grow tiring. There's a lot of gross out humor to appeal to those who enjoy puppet violence/sex, but it only comes in spurts, so don't expect a constant bloody puppet orgy. The Robert the hedgehog story brings a small bit of heart to the movie, but at the same time, it's just not very interesting. None of the plots are particularly interesting, except for Heidi's final performance backstage. It's the characters that make this watchable. There's so many and so many jokes being fired, and about a quarter of them are funny, and the rest you just shrug off.With all that said, this isn't a bad movie. It's just a very disjointed film. It is amusing mostly, and occasionally it's really funny, but you may find for some of the film you'll be closing your eyes thinking about pudding (or something other than the movie in front of you).My rating: ** 1/2 out of ****. 97 mins. R for strong violence, sexuality, language, drug use, all involving puppets.
