I found Fat Albert to be a family friendly and appropriate movie that revived long forgotten values.
In a world full of movies where cute little cartoon characters curse, and wicked stepsisters have 5 O'clock shadow, this is one of the few movies that kids can watch without the parent holding the proverbial bleep button.
Kids reaction: Although my kids had no idea whatsoever who Fat Albert was, they really enjoyed seeing a cartoon come through the television screen and come to life as well as the interaction between the cartoon world and the real world. My daughter was captivated by the suspense as to whether Fat Albert would get back into the TV before he turned into celluloid dust.
Adult reaction: You need to be 35 years or older, and a fan of the original Fat Albert Cartoon to enjoy it. I went to see the movie with such a group... and what can I say but... Hey, Hey, Hey... we had a good time! There were alot of what you would call inside jokes and without having a background knowledge of the cartoon, it would be likely that you would not find the jokes funny.
The acting: Contrary to many reviews, I found the acting to be right on point... yes Keenan Thompson portrayal of Fat Albert was a little stiff, but it seemed purposely stiff, and I would have been disappointed if his real life personality had been different from his cartoon persona.
