Author Topic: Fat Albert (2004) Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-23-2004 08:00 PM                     If I had played a drinking game and taken a shot every time Fat Albert said "Hey hey hey!", I would have had 42 shots and enjoyed the film much more. As it was, counting out loud and yelling at the crap code was the only form of entertainment found here.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-23-2004 09:41 PM                     For the search engine: Phat Albert This movie was trying so hard to be another Brady Bunch Movie, but it failed miserably. There is not one funny moment in it, and Fat Albert literally does say "hey, hey, hey" 42 times during the movie (Adam and I counted). However it is still a thousand times better than the new reigning champion of this year, Spanglish. 1/2 out of 5 stars BTW, an interesting choice to make this movie in "scope", being that Fat Albert is just to fat for flat.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

Too bad only film geeks would get it.  |  IP: Logged David Yauch Expert Film Handler Posts: 206 From: Mesa, AZ, USA Registered: Oct 2004 posted 12-27-2004 04:32 AM                     On a day when we did over 12000 people, one of our fat albert prints sat on a platter unused. The other didn't come anywhere close to selling out. I think our customers rated this one for me.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-03-2005 11:21 PM                     I thought this one was cute. It had a sweet storyline to it and at least tried to be heartfelt. It was a quick way to waste 1:45 and didn't suck very badly. It was average. 2.5/5 BTW: Kyla Pratt and the sister:  |  IP: Logged
