Fred, it gets even freakier. According to the little blurb in EW, it's not just a live-action Fat Albert movie: apparently, it's about the animated Fat Albert characters stepping into the real world or something.
Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ann, that's a ferret.
ita, I've seen the trailer. Or at least a preview. And, P-C, it's even worse than that -- they're pulled into today's real world.

kg{kRosby faints when Fat Albert shows up at his door.
If fictional stuff were popping out of the screen and coming to life like in Purple Rose of Cairo, walking past the Independence Day sale DVDs would become a difficult act of willpower for me.

Oh, yeah, I knew that. Cause why would they get pulled into the world of their own time? That doesn't make any sense, of course.

Well, movie magic has been known to create period movies.

I admit, I saw the trailer, and I got a kick out of it. I find fish-out-of-water movies (e.g., Blast From the Past) amusing, as long as they're done well.
I don't know if I'll see Fat Albert, but the trailer made me laugh.

Acting? Or are goofy black kids strictly a 2004 thing?
I dunno -- Starsky and Hutch was set then, Fat Albert is set now -- nothing but a creative judgment call.
