o.O

And I don't use the little anime emoticons often, but I was watching the TV...now, I didn't even realize Bill Cosby, somehow, somewhere, got it into his head to make a Fat Albert movie.

And to top it, it's Live Action.

I don't know if the Cos himself decided to do the movie. I think it's more like Fat Albert was originally created by Bill Cosby, and whoever's doing this movie is giving credit where credit is due [plus because they know the name is bankable].

I'm not sure Cos himself has any actual involvement other than as creator, though the commercial says "from the Creative Mind of Bill Cosby".

I have to believe Cosby knows better than to create another movie after Leonard Part 6.

He's in it, in the commercial.

The theatre poster is hellish. It's a kinegram that morphs between the Fat Albert cartoon characters and the actors.

I dunno. I saw the trailer.. and it didn't look bad... they made some funny ass jokes that I didn't expect.

It's Fat Albert, and it's 2004. All I expect to hear ARE ass jokes.

And it wasn't bad. There -weren't- any gross-out jokes. The characters got to act like the cartoon characters, because as the poster intimated they came right out of the TV.

Billy Cosby based Fat Albert and the Good Time Gang on him and his friends as teens. The guy he based Fat Albert on died not too long ago. The movie ends up being summed up as a tribute to him. It's fun, it's light, and it's NOT awful. You aren't missing much if you skip it, but you won't be reaching for the claw end of a hammer to punish your eyes if you do.
