Previous reviewers have been right in stating that this film pales in comparison to 1985's "Follow That Bird", but then again it is hard to beat perfection! Anyway this movie definitely has more of an appeal for kids than it does for adults (although there is some decidedly adult references that'll fly over kids heads slipped in for good measure). Anyone who feels nostalgic for the street and who wants to see how the adult actors and muppet characters are doin these days should also be interested. *lol* There are also some good celebrity cameos thrown in, although not nearly as many as there were in "Follow That Bird".The bottom line is that this is a decent movie, and i'd definitely reccomend renting it or watching it on tv.

What a great movie! Since I'm usually too absorbed in watching the movie, I didn't consider any plot holes,bad writing,etc. And frankly I don't care as long as a movie entertains me. And this one definitely did! DeNiro was great, but Hoffman was better. Any time a straight actor plays a gay character so convincingly it's amazing. A very humorus part of the movie occurs when Hoffman teaches DeNiro The Name Game song.

In terms of sheer terror this movie is definitely one of the best films of all time. For me, this movie ranks right up there with The Omen. It's too bad that inferior sequels were made to these movies. One subtle scene that definitely underlies the terror of this movie and which describes the character of the devil is the bar room scene, in which The Allman Brother's "Ramblin' Man" plays on the jukebox. Both the subtle scenes like this one and the more direct scenes of the movie add to the appeal of this everfresh movie. I can't wait to see the newly re-released version in the theatre.
