Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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!!!

g-bodyl This movie, if you could call it a movie, is probably one of the worst films I ever saw. This story is about some troubled teenager played by Kyla Pratt who doesn't fit into her high school society. To help her, a 400-pound guy jumps out of the TV and tries to soothe her problems. First off, Fat Albert is annoying. He gets on my nerves by saying "Hey, Hey, Hey" all the time. This ties in with my second point. There is no good acting. The only good part was a cameo scene with Bill Cosby. The script seemed like it was written as a pre-school class project with no help from the teachers. The music is alright, but I am not a big fan of 70's funk/disco. Finally, I wonder if anybody under 18 have even heard of Fat Albert before the film came out. I know I haven't. I rate this film a 2/10.

roastbeefsucks Before I went with my kids to see this movie, I was sure it would be great. I was wrong!!!!!! I know that it had gotten bad reviews, but so do a lot of other movies. I just wanted to take my kids out for lunch and a GOOD movie. I thought it would put them to sleep, and I could finally get some rest. I left with two ANGRY teenagers, and a CRYING baby. I think that it was the WORST movie I ever saw. This movie makes all African-Americans wonder why they are stereotyped!!!!!! I was ash aimed to be an African-American watching Fat Albert. I HATED this movie, I left the movie theater thinking should I ever waste my time and go to the movie theater . . . ever again!!!!!!!!!!

james_cocos-snowboots Every aspect of this insipid movie is worth missing. Even the premise of this movie is stupid. An adolescent girl whose biggest problem is that she wasn't invited to a party! WHO CARES! Until a bunch of one note characters crawl through the television to her emotional rescue. There's the requisite fright scene in which Doris feigns shock and horror at this 300 pound anachronism and his numerous, equally anachronistic, friends. I don't think that I need to "expose" the countless inconsistencies and factual, as well as logical, errors, as others already have, and they are obvious if you have seen or, at the possible expense of your sanity, are about to see, this film. The key to this film is to watch the director's commentary. My partner and I were so stunned by the stupidity of this film that we had to see what the director thought of his work. To any viewer's profound horror and astonishment, it seems that Joel Zwick thinks that this film is a masterpiece. I guess that, in relation to the many music videos he's directed, he thinks that he was given a chance to expand his artistic vision. He employed so much hyperbole and bloated self-congratulations that I think he actually thought that he was Orson Welles incarnate, except that Orson Welles actually created a few brilliant films throughout his career and Joel Zwick hasn't directed anything of any worth (unless you liked My Big Fat Greek Wedding and episodes of Full House and Step by Step). Anyway, I don't have to say anymore but that this movie sucks and unless you are a small, easily amused child, you will not like this movie.
