Too much of the joy imparted by Muppets Most Wanted has too little to do with the Muppets themselves.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
[It] isn't as giddily entertaining as its predecessor but much of the charm remains, making this an ideal destination for a family excursion.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Fresh
Kids will enjoy it, and there are more than enough clever gags to keep parents amused. But the film lacks the tenderness and rich nostalgia that made The Muppets such an improbable delight.
Christopher Orr, The Atlantic
Fresh
The songs are infectious, but the rest (despite turns by Tina Fey and Ty Burrell) lacks some of the gang's usual feel-good joy.
Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
The new Muppet movie is as sweet as a bowl of tapioca. And about as interesting.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
