UnowPriceless hyped garbage

SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

anthony-rigoni Yes, folks, I am a fan of Bill Cosby's Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids since I was a kid. And now, to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of one of my favorite cartoon series, I am going to rant on a movie that is not only horrible, but spits the original and light-hearted 1972 cartoon series right on the eye.First of all, what the hell happened to Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids?! All of the cartoon characters in Fat Albert's world are stereotyped in a negative way: Fat Albert is no longer lovable, Mushmouth lost his beloved ubbi-dubbi speech, Rudy is no longer the African American version of Reggie Mantle(You know, that show-offy wise guy from the Archie Comics), Weird Harold didn't have an afro in the TV Series, Donald is now dumber than his old TV Series counterpart, Bucky doesn't have his trademark buck-teeth, Bill is bland, and, heck, not even poor Russell is spared in this movie! Look what they even did to Mudfoot in this movie! In the TV Series, Mudfoot was a wise and dignified homeless person whose reverse psychology works all the time. In this piece of s---, Mudfoot isn't anything like himself from the TV Series! Mudfoot, in this movie, is now a stereotypical angry African-American man who has the personality of Pops Williams from the Wayans Bros! At least, Pops Williams was a likable character on that show. This guy is the exact opposite! What have you done, movie?! What have you done?!! Second, the horrible animation in the cartoon segments makes Bebe's Kids look like Beauty and the Beast! Third, the acting is so bad, it's unbelievable. Finally, the music in this movie is generic and unoriginal.Bottom Line: This movie is full of character inconsistencies, generic music, terrible acting, horrible animation, and is never, ever true to the cartoon I grew up with and loved! How dare you, Twentieth Century Fox! HOW! DARE! YOU!!!

Father Bohab I just bought the original series DVD's before this movie came out and looked forward to seeing it.I sat through 45 minutes and realized that nothing made any sense, there was barely any story, and the characters were not even close to what Cosby put out in the 70's This movie was badly written, poorly acted and painful to watch.I feel very sorry for anyone who paid 8 dollars to see this junker.Cosby should be ashamed that he actually made a movie worse than Ghost Dad and Leonard Part VI.Fat Albert could have been edited to 15 minutes long and still got the point across, instead it dragged on for what seemed an eternity.

view_and_review This movie was pretty much forced into being, and horribly so. I never watched "Fat Albert" as a kid, but I concluded that I would watch the movie based upon the cartoon's reputation. Had I known that Fat Albert and the gang would lunge through the television from cartoon town to real life, I wouldn't have even watched the opening credits.It was a feel good story with a good message, but it was terribly done. A lot of the scenes in the movie seemed as though they were for occupying space and time more than for aiding the plot. Fat Albert can do it all, and even though he's fat, he's super cool. That is about what I got out of the bulk of the movie.

dianawannabe1129 I saw this movie on Christmas Day with my aunt and cousin. I have never seen the original "Fat Albert" cartoon, probably because I wasn't alive in the 1970's. I still thought this movie was entertaining. It's a very fun, innocent movie. I say "innocent" because there aren't many scary or inappropriate jokes or objects in it. I don't know why this movie got a PG rating because there isn't anything that would make parents think twice about seeing this movie. It says it got the rating for "momentary language", but I don't recall hearing any inappropriate language in this film. Parents, rent this movie for your kids. It's a harmless, fun, enjoyable movie, and your kids will thank you very much.
