	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[Caine] plays the role straight, and treats the Muppets as if they are real. It is not an easy assignment (...) It manages to incorporate the Muppets convincingly into the action (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Henry Barnes The Guardian	"There's lots to love here, particularly Michael Caine's deadly straight take on Scrooge (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
