So much average

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I love this movie so much. Though many people have their other personal opinions. But who cares. This movie was funny, offensive, and hilarious. Their are 50 and 50 who are debating of the movie is good or bad. 10/10 recommend for you to watch it. Not going to spoil it for you ;)

Why all the hate? I think this film is epic. Very few movies made me laugh as much as this movie did. Top notch comedy! I suppose not everyone has the same sort of humour, but this movie was for me. I have a very wide range of movies, I love sci fi (Star Wars) my favourite one being the Terminator. But this was a movie that I put on whenever I am feeling down, and it never fails to cheer me up. This movie means a lot to me, and I don't why why there is all this Eddie Murphy hate??? I think Eddie Murphy played the character of Respucia brilliantly, and it came across to me how it s]it was meant to come across to everyone else. I don't know if I am one of the only people to have loved this movie, but in my eyes, comedy doesn't get any better than this!

I've seen this movie a ton of times since its original release and at various ages. I first watched it as a kid and thought it was hilarious, and as a teenager it only seems funnier because now I understand more of the jokes. Everyone who I talk about this movie with agrees that it is non-stop funny. This movie will have you literally rolling on the floor laughing. Every time I see it I laugh myself to tears! I don't understand the movie's low rating, this movie should have at least a 6. I rate it 10/10 stars. Its one of the best Eddie Murphy movies I've ever seen, and I include Trading Places and Coming to America in that judgment. If you want to laugh HARD, watch this movie!

I guess Gross and Bad Taste are two apt terms that describe Norbit, a film that most critics took a hatchet to.As in the The Nutty Professor Murphy appears as multiple characters. Here he plays Norbit, the nerdy orphan nice guy who gets pushed around. Rasputia, the obnoxious, selfish and obese woman who connives Norbit to marry her and treats him badly. Lastly Mr Wong, the man who ran the orphanage where Norbit was raised and who thoroughly dislikes Rasputia and her brothers.Norbit meets up with his childhood sweetheart (Thandie Newton) where he finds he still has affections for her but disappointed that she is now engaged to get married to a sneaky businessman (Cuba Gooding Jr). Norbit also catches Rasputia cheating with the dance instructor and realises things must change.The film is full of low brow humour, gross jokes, slapstick and stereotypes. Critics hated but it was a big box office hit. Murphy makes Norbit likable as a lovable loser and you have to admire the make up effects as Rasputia, it is more than a guy in a fat suit playing a harridan. It is not the greatest comedy ever made but not as bad as its reputation suggests.
