5/5 My Review Of Fat Albert
  by Henry E. West (Chicago, U.S.A.)
Fat Albert is a live-action adaptation of the 1970's Filmation cartoon created by Bill Cosby. Kenan Thompson and Kyla Pratt stars is this film where Fat Albert and the Junkyard Gang jumps out of their Saturday morning animated world and into reality. Bill Cosby also stars as himself where Fat Albert meets Cosby for the first time. This is a funny and heartwarming film that is great for Fat Albert fans of all ages.

2/5 A sugar-coated Hollywood Money Maker $$$$
  by SICK PRAWN (PARTS UNKNOWN)
The cartoon character Fat Albert is totally different from this character. When did a hot female ever hang out with Fat Albert anyway? NEVER! This is fine for kids under 13, but a 30-something like myself, awful. This is just typical "we have no new ideas in Hollywood, so we'll made a stupid and predictable cartoon-to-live-action-movie piece of crap". This is made totally for kids and parents that will tolerate watching it. Family fare.. possibly, but I warn those who dig my reviews! Until Then Folks...

3/5 Hey, Hey, Hey...This Movie Is Really Okay!
  by Eric Ericson (Venice, Florida USA)
Call me a nostalgic old-coot, but I like revisiting my childhood. This "continuation" of the classic 1970's Bill Cosby-created cartoon is actually not half bad. First, the casting of the gang are pretty much spot-on, with Kenan "SNL" Thompson heading-up as Albert. The rest of the cast features young black actors most of us saw while changing channels on the likes of UPN, the WB, and the like. It seems in cartoon-land, the characters do each episode every time exactly the same until one day a young girl crying over her remote creates a porthole into Fat Albert's world while watching the re-run. He and gang, always looking to help whoever needs it, goes through, and boom, there they are. The storyline isn't complex, but towards the end when Albert looks up ole Cosby himself to try to figure out what to do, it pays off in the end as to why he ended up there in the first place, and actually is sorta touching in the process. Not kidding, really.

But that's not to say the film doesn't have it's own set of flaws. The animation is updated losing alot of it's Filmation charm. Even with a 2.35.1 widescreen, they had no room for Russell (the littlest one, Bill's brother), Kenan while able to do the "Hey, Hey, Hey" bit well, can't sing his way outta a paper bag, the "Mushmouth" accent is done horribly here, and finally, the coolest character "Rudy" dressed like a pimp with sarcasm dripping in the cartoon, seems too nice now and needed to stand out more instead of being like all the rest.

But I've seen alot of my childhood shows brought back with mixed results, but unlike say "The Brady Bunch" who didn't realize that they were stuck in the 70's, "Fat Albert" knows it, and knows why they have to go back. A decent kids movie & a nice trip back for the ones that formerly were.

5/5 Was the best movie ever.
  by Lisa Powell (Chicago, IL USA)
I have to say that this movie is one of the most funny and best movies ever. I'm glad that I purchased it because I really truly love Omarion especially since he is the love of my life and the man of my dreams. I love the way he played his role as Reggie in the movie. He is so fine and sexy all over. Overall, the entire movie is great and hilarious. I'll recommend this movie to the entire family to watch together.
