The scenes I thought were the funniest in this movie were the one where Norbit and Rasputia get together in bed and when Rasputia gets "on top" of him the break breaks and falls down to the floor (that was a little insulting to fat people, but I thought it was a hoot). Also the second funniest scene was where Rasputia goes down the waterslide, creates a mini tsunami, and splahes almost everyone in the park.

In the movie most of the audience is cheering for Norbit (Eddie Murphy) to get together with Kate (Thandie Newton) and leave him big angry overgrown wife Rasputia who is a domineering negative force in Norbit's life. You have to see the movie to see if Norbit is man enough to leave Rasputia without getting crushed and beaten up.

I had a hard time getting my mind around how Eddie Murphy could play 3 completely different characters (Mr. Wong, Norbit, and the obese Rasputia). The movie industry must have some really cool tricks into making movies like this. Overall the movie was very funny, but I don't think I will watch it again. There is quite a bit of crude humor in the movie.

QUICK PLOT - An adult orphan falls for his childhood sweetheart, but is married to a mean "FAT Lady".

A very funny movie using traditional Eddie Murphy humor in the five characters that he plays. Eddie Murphy as a child orphan gets "pretend married" to his childhood sweetheart, but shortly after his sweetheart leaves the orphanage because she gets adopted.

A new "BIG" girl emerges in the orphanage who protects him from bully's - and they ultimately get married as adults. The combination of the "BIG" girl's invasive personality with her corrupt brothers, keeps Eddie Murphy's character in misery all of the time. Then one day his childhood sweetheart returns in his life, and all hell breaks loose when he can't stop thinking about her.

This movie was quite comical. Eddie Murphy, once gain, outdid himself. I did find the movie to be a little foul, which is not suprising. The movie had a great lesson in it: Don't be with someone because it's comfortable but be in a relationship where you're truly happy.

I thought this was a really good funny movie! Eddie Murphy is back doing what he does best! He plays Norbit Rice, and his mistreating obese wife, Rasputia. In the middle of the movie, Norbit's childhood girlfriend, Kate comes back to town, hoping to buy the orphanage that she and Norbit grew up in. Kate's fiance and Rasputia's brothers try to stop Kate so they can open a strip club. Later, Norbit finally gets courage with the help of some friendly pimps, and Mr. Wong to tell Kate the truth and win her love. If you love comedies, and Eddie Murphy, you'll love NORBIT!!!!

...keeps putting out crap like this, I predict his movie career will soon be referred to in the past tense. This is just awful, somewhere between a human acted cartoon and tripe. The first fifteen or so minutes have a couple of laughs, from there it goes straight downhill. This is so bad it's not even worth the time to watch it if you somehow acquired it for nothing. I always loved Eddie Murphy, and I know no one can hit a homerun every time out, but this just blows chunks, sucks, you fill in whatever appropriate phrase you'd like. Avoid it like a mother-in-law with a rent bill in her hand.
