Review of The Muppets Valentine Show

"The Muppets Valentine Show" is a live action short film from 1974, so this one is already over 40 years old, which shows you how old the Muppet gang already is. However, it is not one of their earliest even, maybe earliest color films and the color sure lifts the characters to another level and that's why most of the B&W stuff about the Muppets is mostly forgotten now. This one runs for under half an hour, so definitely one of the shorter Muppet films and it may not yet star some of your favorite Muppets. But they already went with the successful formula of uniting the gang with a famous star and this time, it is actress Mia Farrow. And also as always they really love the star while not respecting each other at all. I personally am a bit biased perhaps because I am far from a big Muppets fan, but this little work sure did not turn me into one either. I did not find it funny and it certainly wasn't a romantic work at all, so it very much does come short on the occasion. Farrow, however, was a bit of a shining light and keeps it from being an even bigger and more awkward mess. Thumbs-down and I don't recommend the watch here. Go for something else.
