 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.
Kenan Thompson as Albert is the movie's bright spot; it's hard to dislike his portrayal of the sweet-natured portly guy, and in his trademark red sweater and blue pants he does come across as a cartoon come to life.
