FAT ALBERT
A+ This movie was just simply sweet, but not sappy. It lacks bad
language and any kind of sexual overtones, though there is plenty of opportunity for it. This aspect alone was very refreshing.
I've listened to a lot of Bill Cosby's stand up routines and it was cool to see that the kids he talked about growing
up with were the kids in the movie (I didn't watch Fat Albert as a child).
FROM JUSTIN 2 KELLY
A Originally I had not wanted to watch the movie because
I had heard the reviews saying it was a bomb, and the title really sounded corny. But, one evening it was on cable, so I thought,
well I don't have to rent it to watch it now..so what could it hurt. The movie starts out very much like a bad spring break
movie, but then that's part of the charm. Showing that among all the immature antics of those around two people..somehow they
continue to stay connected. Some of the music is meant for fun, but listening and watching Justin and Kelly sing "Anytime"
and "Timeless" is symbolic of a great musical. Listening to Justin sing "Anytime" makes my knees weak.. there's a passion
and power in his voice, Kelly too. Their voices amplify a powerful sound and feeling.. it can't help but make me smile...
maybe it will you too. If you are looking for a gun shooting, car crashing, foul mouth movie..you'll need to look elsewhere..you
won't find that here. But, if want to sit back and enjoy fun on the beach with some really great singers..then enjoy.
