You ever hear about a movie that’s coming out and you REALLY REALLY REALLY want it to be good but you’ve got a sinking feeling in your stomach that it’s just going to be horrible? Well, Fat Albert is one of those movies for me. Now the trailer has come out and my hopes aren’t soaring here folks. This thing is looking worse by the minute. Oh well, might as well go and see for yourselves. You can check the trailer out here.

I Love Joel Madden. I wish the movie came to the UK :(

I think fat Albert id going to be so funny, it will probably do well in the movies because of all the celebrities in it such as Aaron Carter and best of all….JOEL MADDEN
hey jessica ur the one hoo needs to get a life!! joel madden is the most gorguz guy in da world and u take that back about good charlotte being a suck ass band ..they r more lyk a kick ass band!! so dont call us fans the lossers..ur the loser!!
Holy crap….you little teeny boppers and your obsession with “Joel” is so immature. Get over him. He is some dude…who is in a suck ass ‘band’ and had 2 seconds in a B class movie. You act like he is a God. I hope someday you realize how pathetic you are for going to see a movie just because some lame ass punk wanna-be has a 5 second cameo. Get a life you losers.
dude omg when me n my best friend heard joel sexy madden was gunna be in fat albert we waited in line on the first day fora little bit then we went into the theater and hour early so we could get front row and when he was on we were like screaming SO LOUD the people behind us told us to leave

Nothing bad should be said about this movie. once i saw that there was a real person that it was based upon it made me see things in a different light. it is so sad to see that all of the cosby kids are still living except Albert ( FAT ALBERT ) Robinson.at the end of the movie i cried because i saw that fat albert really existed at one time. nothing bad should be said about this movie. it is a family movie. one that the whole family can and will enjoy. you can only do but so much especially since it came from a cartoon. Bill Cosby kudos to you and so very sorry to see that you lost such a good friend like Fat Albert. HEY HEY HEY I DID HAVE A GOOD TIME.
Yeah everyone…Joel is in it. Best part of the movie I must admit. The guy with the pink hat sits beside him in class and he goes “What’s with the hat” and he gets freaked out by the guys answer and moves a seat back beside the guy who mumbles incoherantly and asks “What’s with him?” Guy mumbles- Joel gives odd look- Guy holds hand out and shakes it himself- Joel gives another odd look. And a little later you can see the back of Joel’s head as he walks away, (by the track). Have fun searching kiddies!
I’d see the movie even if it was only a picture of joels in it. thats the only reason om going to watch the movie–to see joel!!
peace out,
#1 Good Charlotte fan
OMG I know. The only reason Im seeing it is because of Joel! I luv him and GC. Member, “Keep representing GC cuz u know were representing you.” (Benji) I
I really wanna see Joel. I was double checking to see if it was him. I was like omg Joel is in it. I have to go!
My friend and I only saw the movie to see Joel Madden, we bought tickets to see the 1:00 showing, and when we saw Joel we flipped out and went to the bathroom. When we were about to go back in the movie we noticed there was a 2:00 showing. It was fifteen min. to two so we decided sneak in that movie to see Joel again!!! It ROCKED only because of Joel. I got to see Joel on a BIG screen!! EEKKKK AAAAAKKKK EEEKKK!!
OMG I love Joel Madden and as soon as i found out he was in the movie I knew i HAD to see it! I don’t care how many lines he has I HAVE to see the movie!
I’m going to see the movie on Christmas Day with my younger brother who was not old enough to remember the cartoon. I’m going to see it mostly for the sake of nostalgia.
I got the feeling from the trailer that the movie wasn’t going to be all that great. But then I saw clips of the movie that was not featured in the trailers and I thought it was going to be funny as hell.
So I’m back in the middle again…is it going to be good or is it going to be bad? Either way, I’m probably going to be the only one who will come out of this movie (between me and the rest of my friends) actually enjoying it.
But the one thing that upsets me most is the animation of Albert that they have before he jumps through that TV/warp hole. Albert in the old cartoons (from what I remember and from the pictures I saw on the TV commercials for the DVD releases of the cartoon) depict Albert as being much larger. Even the animation is different from the animation they had back then. Sure it’s 25-30 years later, but you’d think that even new animators would have tried to make the characters more what they looked like 30 years ago. It’s like taking Beavis and Butt-head and making them look like real people.
Call me a stickler, but I think continuity is very important in movie adaptions of TV shows (like the Brady Bunch movies did), sequels and remakes.
I heard Joel Madden is in the movie, i dont care if he says 1 line, hes in it, so im seeing it!!!!! I Love Joel!!!!!!!!!
As mentioned b4.. by other people. If joel madden has a past (even if its like 1 sentance) im hitting the movies. Fat albert here i come!
~~~Can you tell im a good charlotte fan?~~~~
YES! JOEL IS IN IT! I JUST SAW THE COMERCIAL! YAY! I LOVE GC SOOOO MUCH! THAT IS WHY IM GOING TO SEE IT! I LOVE BILLY MARTIN FOREVER! RoCk oN!

My son and I saw this Movie last night at the premiere. He is 9 and never heard of Fat Albert but he enjoyed it very much. There is something for everyone in this movie and it does have a certain amount of nostalgia for us old timiers. The plot of the movie goes almost exactly how it would if it were animated but not quite as corny. there were also instances were the characters had got to update themselves but not making them the butt of the joke. I recommend it for anyone who was a fan of the show, even if you dont have chldren. on a scale of 1-10 i give it an 8. It was good but dont look for any oscar nods.
I saw previews for the Fat Albert movie. Joel Madden from Good Charlotte is in the movie. He only says like 6 lines but I dont care if thats all he says, i am so at the movies after Christmas!
Joel Madden is in this movie all the more reason to see it then!!!!
I saw Aaron Carter in the previews AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Who else is in the movie?
I went and saw it and thought it went along the same lines as the show would have done. There is a modern spin on it but it was in a good way. This imovie in no way like the Brady Bunch. this movie has leggs and character and was actually original compared to other spin-offs of television shows. if you do not think so apparently you probably think the Dukes of Hazzard should be nominated for an oscar then.
I saw the previews to that movie and JOEL was there!!!! he’s like “whats that on your head” thats all I know but he’s in it so im sooooo seeing it!! i don’t care it thats all he says in the whole movie!!!
I hope that Joel is in the movie then ill see it even if he only says one thing!
I heard that Aaron Carter is going to be in the movie.If u know more about it please e-mail me but please not junk mail.
Yeah Joel’s in the movie he only has like five lines though I think his characters name is Spike.
they needed to make fat albert 5x’s bigger, he is quite small looking in the movie. he needs to be alot bigger.
all i know is my man joel plays even the littlest part in the movie then i’m cin it
I heard joel Madden from Good Charlotte is going playing in the movie please send me more info about this. Thank you.
Keenan and Kel are in it. They have a tremendous fan base because of their show on Nickelodeon and are genius comedians. The flick should do really well. Fingers crossed anyway…
I Know that the New Fat Albert movie will really be a big success in thearters this christmas because I have seen the trailer and the movie will be very hot and off the chain the cast will be slammin because the cast that was picked will be very good and the cast will play their parts and play them very greatly I will go seen the Fat Albert Movie if I can if it is here in Wilkes County or I will try to go to Jonesville to see it .
I used to watch Fat Albert and loved the cartoon. It’ll be interesting to see some of those characters come to life. It’ll probably be a silly movie but it’s based on a CARTOON. Of course they do it to merchandise stuff. I’m not adverse to owning a Fat Albert T-shirt and a mug. You should see all of the Superman and Lord of the Rings merchandise I have. Scary.
Hey! Don’t think I’m not ashamed of the sheltered life I have lived by having never seen a Fat Albert cartoon ever! All I’m saying is I am huge fan of Bill Cosby, and I think some credit should be given to the fact that he wrote it. As for the quality of the movie is concerned, does it really matter? There are tons of crappy movies, particularly TV adaptations, that become hugely successful simply because of marketing (I.E. Charlie’s Angels, Scooby-Doo). I’m not saying it’s right, but it seems as though the movie-going audience doesn’t care how accurate a film is to its television roots, as long as there are boobs and gross-out humor. God bless America. :-P
There are rare instances when a trailer does not do a film justice, and the final product turns out to be well done.
I *have* seen the original cartoon, and the snippets in the trailer didn’t seem to capture the spirit of the original.
I’ll wait to see what Rotten Tomatoes gives it.

Although this movie does look similar to what I deposited in the commode this morning, it might actually make money because of the market it is after (just look at Scooby Doo). The real question is what Mushmouth is going to sound like?
“I like pudding and Ghost Dad was the best movie I’ve seen since Leonard part 6.” -Stewie Griffin
All I’ve got to say to this is, although I’ve actually never seen an episode of Fat Albert in my life, I have confidence in this movie based on one important thing: Bill Cosby is writing it. Few people know that Fat Albert is a character based on a friend Bill had as a child. If anyone knows how the character should be handled, it’s him. Mind you, this doesn’t neccessarily mean a good audience response or box office returns, but in my mind, that’s not important.
As for the whole travelling in time deal, it worked for The Brady Bunch. By not taking the premise of a Brady Bunch movie seriously, it allowed for an accurate recreation of the Brady Bunch television show, while poking fun at its place in modern day society and just how hokey the show really was.
Anyhoo, I’d hold my breath for the public response, not the quality of the film. As with Star Wars, this is a situation of a creator being in charge of his creation. Let’s just hope it’s not another Leonard Part 6!
