Leave your thoughts about Fat Albert.
| ComingSoon.netGlen BucherOverall, it is a fun and safe film for young audiences that will also entertain the parents who grew up watching the cartoon, but it probably will not win over any new adult fans. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionPhil KloerA tame, inoffensive little comedy that's never heinous enough to stink up the theater completely, even though it rarely rises above mediocrity. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenShould prove to be great fun for kids, especially for those who want to know what their dads used to watch on Saturday-morning TV. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonfFat-footed and ham-handed in its attempt to reconstitute a popular '70s TV cartoon show as a full-length, family-skewing feature. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsI enjoyed Fat Albert - much to my surprise ... |
| Detroit Free PressJohn MonaghanCall me a sap. Call me a sucker. But Fat Albert couldn't help but make me smile. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfAlbert doesn't embarrass the original creation like it had every right to do, and delivers the Cosby-infused world with minimal pushing or shoving. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThough inoffensive, it's also flat and rather tedious...the movie isn't ready for the junkyard, but it isn't very fresh, either. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarPure of heart, devoid of toilet humor, it sticks close enough to Bill Cosby's cartoon series to pass muster. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonSeems like a pretty cool movie -- at least, for a remake of a 1970s Saturday morning TV show. |
