Movie Review by Tim

How you doing?

Favorite Movie Quote for Norbit :

Norbit: Yes it did! And that makes you, the queen of wh*reS!

God where to begin. This is probably one of the worst Eddie Murphy films I have ever seen. Very disappointing since I am a big Nutty Professor fan and this is very similar being that Eddie Murphy plays multiple characters with the main one being fat.

I was into the film for the first 20 minutes and then lost interest as quick as you can say "I wasted my money." The fat jokes where just too much....no other types of jokes where made and the fat jokes just got real old really fast. It seems as if this script was thrown together and that Murphy was trying to cash in on The Nutty Professor's style before everyone forgot about the movie.

I was excited that Charlie Murphy had helped write this and was an actor in it because loved him on the Chappelle Show but now I wish he was not a part of it because this takes some creditability away from him. Also Marlon Wayans plays the same annoying aerobics instructor that Murphy plays in Nutty Professor just a different less funnier version of him.

I thought Eddie Murphy's portrayal of a weak minded "nerd" for lack of a better word was most awkward and unbelievable also his portrayal of an elder Asian man was really fake......his impersonations were not on point for this film at all.

I really do not have anything good to say about this film except that I'm really glad that its over. If I hear the phrase "How you doing" one more time I'm going to shoot my TV.

Sucked is a mild way to describe the pain.....if you ever say How YOU doing again it will be too soon.

I have to agree with you on this film. It was just down right horrible.
