Norbit has never had it easy. As a baby, he was abandoned on the steps of a Chinese restaurant/orphanage and raised by Mr. Wong--that was heavy. Things get worse when he's forced into marriage by the ...( read more

March 12, 2007Eddie Murphy is back in the world of comedy in top form with a movie that's both funny and warm-hearted.

January 21, 2010I can't say I've ever heard anything good said about Norbit, rightly so, it's not very good. That said though, it wasn't half as bad as I thought it was going to be, I actually laughed a couple of times. I had just been varnishing the work surfaces in the kitchen though, so the f...( read more)

November 28, 2009Hey! You want to know why Eddie Murphy didn't win an Oscar for Dreamgirls? This is it.
I've learned not to expect much out of Eddie Murphy. Has he actually done a good movie in awhile? I can't remember. What makes Norbit so special? Why is Norbit accepted as such a horrible film...( read more) -
November 13, 2009The painful thing about this isn't the collage of retarded moments out of a moronic, 10 year-old written screenplay: it's how little it tries to actually be something. There's nothing new, nothing original, nothing smart, it's just a clip show of old comedy routines filled...( read more)

July 18, 2009Murphy in more fat suits, what is it with these fat suits?? this is terrible, unfunny and kinda cruel to overweight people haha its also just an extension to his 'Nutty Proff' flicks but nowhere near as good, just a cash in.

There are so many problems with Norbit that when you try to pin one down, another one splooges out elsewhere. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Norbit is as fleeting as a belch -- and even less funny. full review
February 9, 2007
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Norbit is a tour de force in which Murphy plays three distinct characters, two of them to the hilt. In fact, the only thing that makes Norbit good rather than great is that the title character is a bi... full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Murphy looks like he's in pain, and he probably is -- latex cellulite can't be fun to wear -- but his anguish is as much existential as physical, trapped inside a lumbering vehicle that offers a morbi... full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Norbit is pretty much a bad-taste sinkhole, with Murphy competing against himself to see which of his three characters he can make more grating. full review
February 9, 2007
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Too many of the gags in the sloppy comedy Norbit are lumbering and graceless, more fun to anticipate than to witness.

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Norbit demonstrates that even when working with low-grade material, Murphy can be a superb actor. full review

September 19, 2007Ok, when I first saw the previews for this movie, I thought that it was truly going to be dim-witted and mildly offensive, but to my surprise it was a really good movie. Why did I doubt Eddie Murphy? I just don’t know. Of course it had a few questionable moments, but what American movie on the planet doesn’t. The overall plot was nice and genuinely funny and it actually went somewhere. I still can’t believe that Chinese man was Eddie. He brought that character to life. This is a pretty good movie for a good laugh! You will love to hate Rasputia, and sympathize and cheer on Norbit.
