Norbit

Save

Summary

Romantic comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Thandie Newton. Mild-mannered Norbit is reunited with his childhood sweetheart Kate when she decides to buy the orphanage where they both grew up as children. But Kate is now engaged to the deceitful Deion and Norbit is married to the overweight Rasputia, whose brothers are planning to turn the orphanage into a strip club. Can Norbit and Kate overcome these obstacles and find true happiness?

Review

A star rating of 1 out of 5.

Jamie Russell

Eddie Murphy continues the fat-suit antics he started in The Nutty Professor in this atrocious and offensive comedy. The star plays three roles: dorky, Afro-sporting Norbit, his gargantuan wife Rasputia and Mr Wong, proprietor of the orphanage where Norbit grew up. The save-the-orphanage plot and 12A certificate suggest a kids movie, but it's debatable whether parents really want to subject their offspring to ribald gags about oral sex, bikini-line waxing or plans to turn the orphanage into a "titty bar" called Nipplopolis. Most of the jokes come at the expense of Rasputia's obesity, although the super-skinny frame of Thandie Newton (who co-stars as Norbit's childhood sweetheart) serves as a stark counter to Rasputia's wobbling cellulite. Avoid.
