This movie was G-rated and I rated it a 3/5 for cleanness, light humor, big song/dance sequence and simple story. The deduction was that this was not my top 100, that it's not a film that people will go ohh...ahh, and it being a sequel (The Muppet Movie was first one).
This movie starts off where Kermit is a private detective for a company and has Gonzo (Camera) and Fuzzy (news/note jotter). But while working on a case they cause havoc and their boss gets mad at them. He gives them a second chance by sending them to London to solve a case of some missing jewelry.
Soon after arriving in London, they discover theat they have little funds left over for expenses and thus have to find a cheap hotel called the "Happy Hotel" to reside in. Here they meet all their friends from the first movie (The Muppet movie), and a song breaks lose.
After finding their residence, they start on their case by trying to find Lady Holliday (played by Diana Rigg), but instead mistaken miss Piggy (brand-new secretary for Lady Holliday) to be her. Miss Piggy uses this to try and impress Kermit and get him to go on a date with her. She also tells him a fake address where a funny scene with John Cleese happens.
After this ordeal, Kermit and Miss Piggy dine out at an exclusive restaurant where the real Lady Holliday and her companion. a jewel thief, Mr. Holliday (played by Charles Grodin) are dining. Soon a song/dance routine occur where Miss Piggy is the star and center of attention of this. But soon after this, the lights are turned out and the necklace is stolen by three ladies who work for Lady Holliday.
Soon after the lights turn out, Kermit and his gang (all the people of the hotel they were staying at wanted to meet Lady Holliday [the fake one but unknown to them] went to the dinner with him and miss Piggy). Gonzo thought that he was able to get a picture of the criminal in the act, when the lights were out, so Kermit and Fuzzy and Gonzo all went to try and process the picture. After processing the film, they discovered that they didn't get a picture of them, but since miss Piggy was in the picture Lady Holliday assumed that she stole it (they found out miss Piggy was a fake when they saw the real Lady Holliday at the dinner).
After Finding out who the real thief was, from Gonzo overhearing Mr. Holliday and the three girls he was with, the muppets made a plan to try and stop the jewel thieves before they made their midnight snatch of the necklace. Once the thieves arrived, arguments and fights occurred. But after the fight, the muppets were able to retrieve the diamond and the thieves were apprehended.
