Watch Fat Albert For Free

A Disappointing Continuation

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Fat Albert (2004): Dir: Joel Zwick / Cast: Kenan Thompson, Kyla Pratt, Dania Ramirez, Bill Cosby, Keith Robinson: "Hey, hey, hey! It's Fat Albert on the big screen." Based upon characters created by Bill Cosby centering on a big guy with a big heart. When refused invitation to a party at school young Kyla Pratt goes home and watches Fat Albert but when a tear hits the remote control the characters suddenly emerge. This concept never works because the transformation from one world to another is taken so lightly. The longer they remain in reality the more their color will fade. Simple formula yet director Joel Zwick asks questions about adapting from one world to another. Zwick previously made the hilarious My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which ignored clichés and exploded with grand humour. Here he goes in the total opposite direction quality wise. With Fat Albert he has a great concept regarding the two worlds but a lousy screenplay to express them. Kenan Thompson embodies the personality of Fat Albert and his buddies look every bit like reality cartoon characters. Pratt's tears on the remote thing just doesn't cut it. She will obviously gain friends and it lacks real feeling. Darnia Ramirez plays the standard flirty sister. Bill Cosby makes a brief appearance. The reality fantasy theme is intriguing but fat chance that it fascinates like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Score: 4 ½ / 10

As another "selective" parent and mother of children aged 5, 8 and 13, we all found this movie enjoyable. For the parent, it was seeing the Fat Albert I watched as a kid, with the same moralistic values that are so often left out/compromised these days, even in "G" rated movies. I really appreciated that they stayed true to the cartoon and gave me a little "history" (true?) as well.Also, the film was well cast and it was gratifying seeing the "gang" develop and adapt in the "Real world" in ways that made them better--and I didn't even know I was rooting for it!The kids all found it entertaining, especially the *still!* coolness of Fat Albert and the *updated* music.Besides, gotta love Kyla Pratt and Kenan!!We will gladly add this to our collection!

This is such a good flick. For those of us who watched the TV show, it was such a nice twist to see the characters live and in the modern world. But, more importantly, it is such a watchable movie for young and old and it is done in a sweet and tasteful way. Imagine, a show with mostly teenage characters and no raunchy sex, nudity, drugs or swearing! I sound like a total prude, but I am not and that's my point. I watched this with my -year old and she enjoyed it as much as I did and she has no idea who Fat Albert is. There are a couple of silly parts such as the total ridiculousness of Fat Albert's "nemeis" Reggie. But, all in all, It is a fun, and sometimes sad film (yes, I cried) but totally entertaining right to the end. I can tell you that I wanted more!

For the answer, just watch this. I can't understand how money could have been given to support this script. Maybe Bill Cosby paid for it all. Otherwise, I'm sure the executive who green lit this has been let go. The plot, which I think is the stupidest plot I've seen, involves the Fat Albert gang coming out of the TV into the real world. They are there to help Doris solve her problems, mainly being that she has no friends. And the gang begins to "fade" the longer they stay. The fading consists of wearing lighter shades of clothes, and other characters saying things like "you look like you're losing your color". Plus they can see through their hand and pants. The pants thing was just another unfunny joke.I can't say how unfunny and dumb this was. It wasn't good enough to be one of those bad movies you can't help but find amusing because it's so bad.FINAL VERDICT: The worst film I've ever seen. The story was so dumb and nothing was funny.
