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.

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.

I HATED This Movie. They Took A Concept That Could Have Had Possibilities And They Drove It Into The Ground.AWFUL!This Movie Was Cheesy.Too Cheesy To Relate To, And Too Cheesy To Have Any Interest In.I Am Not A Pessimest, And I Really Tried To Enjoy This Film, But To No Avail.I Walked Away Very Disssatisfied, And I Wouldn't Recommend This Film To ANYONE. Honestly,If I Were You, I Wouldn't Even Watch This Film Because It Degraded My Opinion Of Fat Albert And The Gang. I Now Associate That Show With This Film, So Needless To Say, I Won't Be Purchasing The Box Set. Please Do Not Rent/Buy This Film. It Will Be A Waste And You Won't Relish This Film.

Well, if you grew up watching Fat Albert in cartoon form and were looking for a nostalgic parody a la Scooby Doo, don't waste your money. Not to say this is the worst film I have ever seen, but I can't understand why they would choose to make the film for children that have no idea what Fat Albert is. Recently they did the same thing with the Bad News Bears.Fat Albert could have been a great 20 something movie that many people would have gone to see. Instead, it's almost like Disney got a hold of it. SNL did a parody of Fat Albert, with Keenan Thompson, that was actually funny. They should have stuck with that.It also didn't help that the Sandlot 2, straight to video, was teased in the previews. Should have been a premonition.
