Kermit, Gonzo and Fozzie are reporters who travel to Britain to interview a rich victim of jewel thieves (Diana Rigg) and help her along with her secretary, Miss Piggy.
After more than thirty years, some of this film may be a bit dated. Not many viewers today, for example, might know who Diana Rigg is, and some might even find it hard to identify Charles Grodin. Peter Falk and John Cleese are still big names, but for a film that partially relies on cameos, this may take away its power.
In general, it is pretty good, with a solid plot and plenty of musical numbers. There are some innovative ways of showing puppets swimming and riding bicycles. Maybe it is not as "edgy" as Roger Ebert would like, but it still has the charm of being something kids can watch without any adult humor creeping in.
