An obese boy named Fat Albert and his friends Rudy, Mushmouth, Bill, Dumb Donald, Russell, and Weird Harold, pulls into trouble when they "fall" out of their TV world into the real world, where Fat Albert tries to help a young girl, Doris, make friends. However, the simple life of the group is interrupted when Fat Albert falls for Doris' older sister, Lauri, sparking his friends to worry that their leader may never want to return to his cartoon world again. —Anthony Pereyra <hypersonic91@yahoo.com>

Trivia
An open casting call was held in both New York and Los Angeles in hopes to cast an unknown kid actor for the role of Fat Albert. After the exhaustive search in both cities proved futile, the producers offered the part to Kenan Thompson.

Goofs
Cable stations such as TVLand do not interrupt their broadcasts for special news reports.

Quotes
Fat Albert: You can't let fear keep you from caring about someone, because, caring about someone... is wonderful! A person you think about, and they think about you, and you both know you're thinking of each other... , and it's just fantastic to know that there is somebody out there in the world thinking about you.

Crazy credits
As the end credits begin, the animated Fat Albert starts to sing the title song again. Suddenly the live action Fat Albert bursts halfway through the picture, 'looking out' at the audience and picking out audience members, saying that he has to stop the movie so he can help them and telling one guy in the back getting out of his seat that he needs to stick around for the end credits. At this point the cartoon versions of the Cosby Kids finally manage to pull Albert back into their world, and the end credits continue.

Good Movie

I agree with the last reviewer. Go see it, unless your a pretentious snob critic. It would help if you were familiar with the cartoon, though. I used to watch it in the 70's, and I thought the movie was true to the original ideas. Kudo's to the whomever for choosing a good cast. The storyline is easy to follow, and my kids were thoroughly entertained. I will make it a point to go pick this one up on DVD. I could see watching it over again, unlike a lot of Hollywood trash, mostly from MICHAEL BAY. Personally, I make it a habit to go and seek out movies that critics don't like. They are usually pretty good. This certainly isn't ANYTHING like Gosford Park or Moulin Rouge. Thank GOD!!!
