Description:
Hey, Hey, Hey?you?re ?gonna have a good time? watching Fat Albert (Kenan Thompson) and his pals in their first feature-length movie! The beloved animated characters from the ?70s make the leap to live action to help a troubled teenager (Kyla Pratt) as they experience the heartfelt emotions and hilarious absurdities of the real world. Comedy genius Bill Cosby (creator of the original ?Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids? TV show) co-stars in this crowd-pleasing family favorite that?s bursting with fresh hip-hop music and tons of laughs!

Amazon.com:
The bright cartoon colors of the Saturday morning classic Fat Albert get brought into the real world--or a Hollywood facsimile of reality, at any rate. When a teenage girl named Doris (Kyla Pratt) sheds a tear onto her TV's remote control, her unhappiness summons Fat Albert (Kenan Thompson, Barbershop 2), Mushmouth, Dumb Donald, Old Weird Harold, and the rest of the gang from Bill Cosby's popular cartoon (inspired by his childhood memories of growing up in Philadelphia). Doris is, to say the least, a little freaked out and doesn't really want Fat Albert to help solve her problems--but with the blithe confidence that only cartoon characters can have, Fat Albert and the gang follow her to school to root out the source of her misery. One of the movie's problems (which are legion) is that Doris's world isn't much more real than the cartoon one; it's a sterile, clean-cut caricature of a city neighborhood. In fact, the whole movie feels suspiciously like a commercial for a DVD of Fat Albert cartoons, an advertisement for which actually appears in the movie, making for a bizarrely self-referential product placement. Thompson, surprisingly, hangs on to his dignity in the face of the inane proceedings and even gives Fat Albert a hint of gravitas. --Bret Fetzer

- Hey, Hey, Hey...This Movie Is Really Okay!
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 ... Read More

- Was the best movie ever.
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.

- Could Have Been Better But still fun
Growing up I was enjoyed Fat Albert, when I first heard they were making a movie I was a bit excited, until I saw the set photos and heard about the plot. Little did I know when I went to see the film this past Christmas I would actually enjoy it. The movie starts out almost promising enough- with a Fat Albert cartoon. Only it's animated with current technology, and has the obligatory CG in it, since all cartoons these days need CG. Fat Albert and the Junk Yard Kids are playing a game of Buck Buck ... Read More

- bad copy
Fat Albert is a good movie. I didn't give it a low rating because I didn't like the movie. The disk I got from Amazon had several skips in it. I ended up throwing it away and getting another copy from Best Buy. There are two parts of this movie that just thrill me every time I watch it. One is when they go to the mall and stumble upon some professional jump ropers. Albert and the girl they came to help danced together while they jumped rope. The other is a group song / rap and dance at a high school ... Read More
