Fat Albert

Personal experience: I CRIED AT THE FAT ALBERT!
It’s true... I sat there in the theater and was so inspired and taken by this fine feature film. It made me realize, that we can all just be ourselves, have fun, learn from each other, "while we do our thing" (na, na, na, gonna have a good time) I even brought string cheese to the event... saw my favorite ticket sales person (Beverly, nice woman) and it all fell into place! Can We all just learn from each other and have a good time!, HEY HEY HEY!

This was really a funny nostalgic movie, and new fans will love it too, I think. And if you don't, or think it's "race specific" you are a prick-ass. No, really you are!

Some scenes I thought were "right on" was when "Dumb Donald" finally reveals his floating eyeballs. Another was the live action of the theme song in the kick ass junk yard, because junk yards kick ass in general. I also liked the ending scene when Bill Cosby (the king of clean comedy) is at the cemetery with his friends, who obviously are the people he crafted the characters of the original cartoon from. Nice touch.

BUT... there is always a problem in a Fat Albert show: The Dickhead. This one is played by a thin, braided dude, with a really dopey looking sidekick who always has a dumbfounded look o his face. Now, thats different! They don't have much ground to stand on, because they are assholes and fail at all attempts to shit on the big guy and his buddy's. Also in the movie is it's share of chicks. But since this was a PG rated movie, I wont tell you how much I enjoyed admiring their asses and chests. Oops.

One last thing: even though this movie didn't contain: blood, explosions or any memorable weapons or Kung- Fu.. it did have one thing: A really stupid ending. It wasn't the movies ending that was stupid, it was the reaction of the audience. Not the applause which was awarded but when Big Al steps through (or gets stuck I should say) the theater screen and looks at the audience and starts pointing people out (not for real you dope, it's a movie) and says for the lady in the back "sit back down, not to leave", half the audience turns around to see who he's talking about. What a fucking world.

 

Overall movie rating: 8
