"Fat Albert" Movie review-- Some spoilers

I am going to attempt to do a movie review if not daily then maybe every other day. It may be a movie in the theater or it may be one I own or rented. Today I am reviewing the epic saga "Fat Albert".
I love cartoons. I have said it before and everyone who knows me knows how true it is. "Fat Albert" is indeed a cartoon that I loved watching as a kid. Bill Cosby's revision of some childhood friends that he had growing up and that they were able to help others or learn a lesson in each episode. I mean add a grilled cheese sandwhich and I am in heaven.
The movie is okay. Keenan Thompson did a farely good job playing the jolly fat guy. The other actors did well playing the Cosby Kids. The story involving a teenage girl who is sad and feels left out who cries while watching the Fat Albert cartoon and then causes the beloved cartoon gang to enter the "real" world by a tear drop that falls on the remote control.
I enjoyed the fish out of water scenes where the gang was trying to fit in to the 21st century. It all seemed a little familar though--- ala "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". Also the rival of good ol' Albert is a wanna be gangsta who is jealous because the girl he likes is showing an interest to Albert. That has been played out in several movies, but was done well in this one. Does Albert get the girl? Well, sort of? Watch to see, if you care. And by the way this girl is really attractive and follows the, fat guy--- hot girl relationship--- ala "King of Queens"
Another aspect of the movie is that over time the gang begin to fade. They are in a sense disappearing because they do not belong in this world. Sound familar? Yes, movie fan you guessed it--- "Back to the Future"--- 'Michael J. Fox on the verge of disentegrating if he does not get his future parents to fall in love'. Does the gang make it back in time? Watch, if you care.
The best part of the movie, in my opinion, is the very end. I will not let any cats out of the bag, but it was really neat. I am also appreciative of the movie because it brought about a simultaneous collection of "Fat Albert" cartoons and that my friend makes he want to say "Hey, hey, hey!!!!!!!!!"


This review is strictly an opinion. If you watch the movie and disagree then that is fine. Why do you disagree? If you agree, what could I have added? Are if you want to just discuss other Bill Cosby works or cartoons, then go for it. I am not going to do these reviews for Southernfried because I want it to be an exclusive for the "Science gone Bad" blog. Besides you guys would probably be the only ones to read from there anyway.
