Movie Reviews of John Denver and the Muppets - Rocky Mountain Holiday
Movie Review: A great movie experience!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've loved this movie since I was a little kid and was thrilled to get it on DVD, since our old taped copy wasn't in the greatest condition and was missing some portions. The special effects aren't that amazing--Fozzie is attacked, at one point, by "wasps" that look like drawn-on yellow blobs, and some of the backgrounds look pretty disconnected from the action--but some of the little details are fantastic! The trees, the lake, and Robin's movement are examples of the implementation of impressive forethought.
Rocky Mountain Holiday is not nearly as cheesy as the John Denver & the Muppets Christmas movie, and there's so much to love about it. Highlights include a Ford truck, a giant maneating chicken, a disgustingly pink Jeep for Miss Piggy to ride in, hilarious jokes, a cozy campfire scene, lovely scenery, enjoyable songs (some of them John's, others not), and the opportunity to see the familiar Muppet characters in flannel and down. John is completely natural with the Muppets--he doesn't seem to be one of those people who's uncomfortable around puppets.
I am kind of disappointed that the scene where John took Rowlf up in a plane to cure his hiccups was removed. Still, it wasn't my favorite part of the movie, and we still have our old copy, so I guess it's not that big a deal to me. Plus, after watching that bit again, I guess I can see why it was taken out. Rowlf mentions "Amelia Airedale," and his fear of flying just isn't as funny given the way John died.
The DVD presentation is simple but effective. This movie is a good buy for the whole family--snatch it up while you can!
