Hey. Hey. Hey. Fat Albert is back and on the big screen. The story goes like this . . . High school kid, Doris (Kyla Pratt) is down in the dumps. Her track speed is off. She is not part of the cool crowd and was not invited to the big party. Her ...

Pros: nice animated work

Pros: Some funny spots with Mush Mouth.
Cons: Some funny spots with Lauri that weren't supposed to be and a bad execution overall.

When movies like Fat Albert have a hard time being made, you know there are issues. This movie was supposed to be made a little over 2 years ago. Forrest Whitaker was initially supposed to be the director, but he left the project because of ...

Pros: Funny, warm, good music, optimistic, and very CLEAN
Cons: Has its tacky and cliched moments

Today I took 4 kids to see "Fat Albert the Movie" - two boys ages 5 and 6, and two girls ages 7 and 9. Between the poor reviews I have seen and the quality of other recent old cartoons-turned-new movies, I wasn't expecting much at all. Before I get ...

Pros: Kenan Thompson, Bill Cosby; has some amusing parts
Cons: Story is a little weak; some hide jokes; Cosby's role is less than significant

I guess there's two essential reasons why seeing 'Fat Albert' became an idea of interest to me: One, I saw the previews and couldn't help but descry the appearance of Kenan Thompson, whose performances I admired in the "Kenan and Kel" show back when it ...

Pros: some giggles, heart-warming, unpredictable conflicts, high replay value
Cons: overall character development, yes...it's rated PG

Pros: At least its short.
Cons: Terrible Plot, Terrible Characters, Embarrasses the great Bill Cosby.

Let me get this over with: Fat Albert is officially the worst movie I have ever seen. Keeping in the tradition of terrible movie versions of classic TV shows, Fat Albert doesn't disappoint. This movie has the most unrealistic characters ever created. ...

Pros: Kenan Thompson
Cons: Kyla Pratt's infernal whining

=Genre= Comedy =Plot= Doris is lonely in high school. She has no friends and no one to talk to. Watching television one day she cries on her remote control and magically the cast of seventies cartoon 'Fat Albert' come out of her television and into ...

Pros: It made me cry and I really felt what the characters were feeling.
Cons: The plot was not totally understood.

I enjoyed watching the movie Fat Albert. I went to see it because I love comedies, and I've watched Kenan when he was on Nickelodeon. At times I laughed and sometimes it made me teary. The only thing I did not like was that the villains were not that bright and were predictable.

Pros: Casting, dancing and oh the overall character performance.
Cons: Can't really think of any...

This is definitely a film to watch with the entire family -even Grandma/Grandpa. My son is three years old and has not stopped singing "Nah, nah, nah - gonna have a good time!" We watched the movie twice: once with a bunch of other kids and the other time with my entire family. It was roars of laughter both times. I mean, what child doesn't want to see a fat guy dancing the way Keenen was? And of course my grandparents were amazed and constantly asking, "Are ya'll sure he's got on a costume?!" Basically, this film appeals to all age groups.

I thought the casting was awesome! Dumb Donald and Mush Mouth were my favorites and Keenen did a great job as Fat Albert. I won't mad at him at all. I am sure Bill Cosby is pleased at seeing his creation come to life the way it did and hopefully he agrees that there could not have been a better cast set.

I love the fact that both audiences left the theatre singing! Fat Albert proves that all family films aren't animated afterall. Nah, nah, nah, had a pretty good tiiiiime!

Pros: Very good family movie.
Cons: Has the capability to be a tear jerker.

Fat albert seems to only appeal to children. Until you watch it that is actually what you would seem. It's a very good movie that really can make you feel good after it's all over. I would have to say infact that "Fat Albert" should be watched with your family. If you have kids take them. Fat albert formally known for the cartoon runs in to the real world. Albert finds a little girl and wants to help her but she wont admit that something is wrong. Time is passing and Albert really needs to return to his T.v. but things are holding him back. He hasnt helped thie little girl yet, and the little girls older sister is very nice and albert wants to stay with her. He soon finds out how short of time he is and is moving quickly to fix the problems. Can he do it? Can Fat Albert and the gang save the day...hey hey hey...go find out for yourself.
