Heartwarming and heartbreaking, informative and inspiring, entertaining and enlightening. During the 90 minutes there are very few emotions that are left untouched. Chatting afterwards, somebody pointed out that it was a room full of adults trying not to cry at a Sesame Street character and for me that's incredibly high praise.
There's always a potential issue with documentaries that even if you find the subject matter interesting the film itself isn't that great. The best documentaries are the ones which make you take note in a subject where you previously had no interest. Being a fan of The Muppets I always expected to be interested in a film about one of it's biggest stars but I wasn't expecting it to be so carefully constructed and so damn emotional.
