Village Voice
The story matters only in that it creates opportunities for heaps of ridiculousness, and writer-director James Bobin (who also directed The Muppets), along with co-writer Nicholas Stoller, mines them skillfully and breezily. - 83
The Playlist
For a movie that insists that sequels are never better than their predecessors, Muppets Most Wanted at least suggests it’s possible for them to be equal – well, almost. - 80
Film.com
With Muppets Most Wanted, the vaudevillian pandaemonium is alive and well. - 75
Slant Magazine
Freed from the burden of starting anew, the film restores the Muppets' rightful place as stars of their own show. - 75
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Funnier than the last Muppets movie, with far better songs (by Bret McKenzie), punnier puns and all manner of geo-political gags, cultural wisecracks and star cameos. - 60
Total Film
Smartly spoofy rather than sweetly nostalgic, this distractingly star-studded jaunt is fast and funny, but short on emotional punch. - 60
Time Out London
Story aside, this is about the gags, songs and then more gags. On the upside, the jokes are great: the usual jolly mix of character humour, situation comedy, farce, satire and wordplay. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
The repetitive storyline about successive heists during a Muppets European tour grows tiresome and the fun is intermittent.
