September 29, 2007Another beloved part of my youth gets the live action treatment and makes me die a little more. Was soooo disappointed again. If you can't do it well, then just leave the source material alone. I liked the Bill Cosby cameo, but that's about all. The rest was childish, silly and m...( read more)

July 9, 2007They wrecked the plot. Rather than doing a live-action adtaptation of the Fat Albert characters in their New York setting, they have them as fiction characters, which a troubled girl summons from her television set to seek guidance.

August 20, 2006Forgettable and unfunny adaptation of the Saturday morning cartoon. I for one have never seen the cartoon, and this movie certainly does not entice me to do so. It is obvious from the start that a movie about animated characters coming into the "real" world demands suspension of disbelief, but when disputes in the "real" world are settled by the means of a quick race said movie has abused the SOD granted to it waaayy too much. Overall the film feels more like a live-action, feature-length commercial for the cartoon DVD's. Perhaps you might want to proceed directly to said DVD's instead.
