I'm not one to give a movie 10 out of 10 but if it inspires others to watch this one I'll do it. The characters and their stories, the story as a whole and every scene within the movie have been given to the movie viewing public for your enjoyment but every aspect has so many messages for the cynics and critics in everyone. Without trying to list the ways this is not just any old feel good movie I'll try to show you why this is just a brilliant movie everyone can take something away from. I see it as a medium for Bill Cosby to say: No this is not a cartoon world where a scripted character can just solve the social and emotional problems of those around him, but does that mean we all have to treat everything with negativity, criticism, and cynical views.I'd be pushing what I have taken personally from this movie and what I think others should if I go any further.Watch the movie. Watch it right through to the end (I'd seen bits and pieces and dismissed the movie until there was little else to watch, and I regret not giving the movie the time it deserved in the first place). Then you'll see what I'm saying.

"Fat Albert" can be called a kind of update on the classic cartoon created by Bill Cosby. Instead of a straightforward live-action adaptation of the animated show, the story brings the characters through the TV into the real world. When Fat Albert comes to solve Doris' troubles, he and his friends find a much different world than the one they knew in the 1970s. And complications arise when Albert falls for Doris' foster sister Lauri. It's an interesting concept having the characters change their personalities as they stay in the real world (Mushmouth can speak clearly, Weird Harold isn't so awkward, etc.). And older viewers will feel nostalgic seeing the classic characters. But a sharp eye can tell the animated versions of the characters in the movie are dramatically different from the cartoon as it actually was. (That was one problem critics had with the movie.) But the movie is still good for some laughs, and even has some touching moments. On the whole, it's a good family movie.

This movie was filled with humorous acts in relation to great moral advice towards the daily life routine, which to most of us in this competitive living world, do make us often forget about what we are seeded on from the beginning.It was wonderful to especially learn a lot of things, and how to turn especially sour experiences into something in which one can make full use of it and turn it's table to the other side of the original cause. Or in other words, make the fullest use of a given situation, despite it being a bad experience. I have no regrets watching this film even though it is more dedicated towards the kids, as it sparkles and reminds us of what good value and virtues are in a way or two, in which I may have forgotten.I am surprised myself to learn several things from this cartoon film, which was brought to life. Bill Cosby will definitely remain the living legend for the typical comedy show, and I remember it well, when I was a kid, watching his sitcom series. It was plainfully amazing, and it reflects again in this very film.I would recommend this movie to all the kids who loves a good plain film for the weekends or during school holidays as it is a much well deserved treat for them.

Hi Folks, my brother brought this movie HEY! HEY! HEY! Christmas DAY home and looking at the case of the movie, i thought it wasn't going to be an interesting one at all until i started watching, believe me, i was sitting at the tip of my seat till the last scene. The movie is so hilarious, educative, and most of all, full of suspense. Its really a movie you need to see, i bet it u would watch it over and over. I could not help myself rewinding the movie to listen to some expressions in the movie, check this out " If you try to become something you are not, you loose the essence of who you really are" its the truth and it would help if you can just be yourself always.Not forgetting to comment on the Actors and actresses, Doris really play her role well and FAT ALBERT is also fantastic. Hope to see ya comments when you see the movie. Jimmyjatz
