Fat Albert a bad movie?

[respectmeordye3]

I keep running into people who claim that Fat Albert (2005) should be classified a B-movie. I disagree--I thought it was translated extremely well to the big screen and kept amazingly close to the original hit cartoon, and was even a lot of fun and didn't really qualify as  b-movie material--sure it's no Oscar award winner but a b-movie?

Anyone else agree with me?

I mean if you wanna talk about a B- movie let's talk about Napoleon Dynamite(though that was probably done b-grade on purpose) or Mario Bros., or what about the first Star Trek movie ? and let's not forget the revamp and really hated Star Wars movies with cheesy looking CGI 'd new scenes-and then there is that Planet Of The Apes remake--I mean Marky Mark as the heroic astronaut?

augh!

wing commander could make that list too.  The acting was clearly B-movie level.

Here's what I consider to be B-Movies:

*Movies based on cartoons, toys, TV shows, and video games
*Barely Legal Teen Demographic horror movies, ie the House Of Wax and Black Christmas remakes
*Anything starring Lorenzo Lamas, Paris Hilton, or Steven Segal.
*MTV films.
*Sci Fi Channel Original movies (don't we all consider these Bad Movies?)
*Low-budget/ DTV horror movies, slasher and zombie flicks especially.

So yes, I'd consider Fat Albert a Bad Movie. Not a terrible movie, but B-Grade nonetheless.

I say nay. Too big of a budget. To many big name actors.

If this boils down to a debate on what makes a b-movie this debate could take up thousands of posts

... And I all was doing was saying what I thought was a B-Movie.
