  • Starring: Kenan Thompson, Kyla Pratt, Marques Houston, Omarion Grandberry
  • Summary: As Fat Albert makes the jump to the big screen, its much beloved characters face challenges they couldn't have dreamed of as cartoon figures.

    Seems like a pretty cool movie -- at least, for a remake of a 1970s Saturday morning TV show.

    The film is sweet and often genuinely funny, with lively musical numbers and a cast of entertaining personalities.

    A spirited re-creation of the series that once ruled Saturday mornings.

    Alas, this eternally sunny character's mantra, "I don't have a problem, I solve problems," makes for paltry dramatic tension.
