What Parents Need to Know
About Fat Albert
Parents need to know that this movie is downright innocent and good hearted. There's nothing of concern even though the high school setting will make it more interesting for tweens. This is a movie older and younger siblings can see together (although parents, you won't be too interested...).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how outward things like looks and money matter when it comes to popularity and the importance of a good inner voice -- even if it comes as Fat Albert.

REAL REVIEW NOT A HATE REVIEW
This is a cute, funny movie that has such a great message. There is no language, innapropriateness, or violence at all and it is a very funny movie. It also is a great story, a girl (Kyla Pratt) who discovers confidence and a great friend, Faaaaaat Albert.
