  Fat Albert Movie Review at Hollywood Video
Sadly, Fat Albert, the movie, is not that clever, instead becoming a fish-out-of-water Austin Powers / The Brady Bunch Movie gag in which Albert (played with incredibly accuracy by SNL's Kenan Thompson) and the rest of his junkyard gang wander North Philadelphia as relics of a funkier, squarer time.
The short-circuit results in Fat Albert (Kenan Thompson, in a lumpy fat suit) and the rest of the '70s toon-crew diving (or squeezing) through the TV screen and into Doris' living room, where Albert is determined (in typical Albert fashion) to help Doris with her social problems.
Fat Albert, with its affable main character and a decent, wholesome message at its core, might hold the interest of your young 'uns (thankfully, there are no poo-poo jokes or sexual innuendoes to be found).

Described as "lovable and jovial" in the studio's publicity packet, Fat Albert was "the undisputed leader" of a gang of rambunctious fl kids living in a seedy but respectable inner-city Philadelphia neighborhood.

Bill Cosby himself appeared in the live-action wraparounds, inviting the viewers to have some fun--"and if you're not careful, you might learn something." Cosby also popped up during the action of each episode to underline the lesson that Fat Albert and company had learned or were about to learn.

 FAT ALBERT - DVD
The memory I have of watching Bill Cosby's "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" as a wee lad is that it always left me a little bit depressed, like listening to Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle" or dining at the Ponderosa restaurant.
Moreover, its ideas are provocative verging on profound, although they're shackled to a sketchy screenplay (by Cosby and Charles Kipps) and an aesthetic that is as paint-by-numbers as the animation that inspired it.
