Here we have Eddie Murphy playing 3 different roles, ala Nutty Professor. He plays the lead role, Norbit who is a stereotypical geeky loser. Rasputia, his incredibly fat wife with attitude, and Mr. Wong who loves to throw out racist cracks who was the one who raised Norbit. As can be expected Norbit doesn't really love Rasputia, but he goes along with the marriage because he is too much of a loser to realize or bother to do anything about it...that is until his childhood love returns to town. You already know how the rest of the story unfolds, so it's your own fault for the spoilers! This is in no way quality filmmaking or a good movie. However I have to admit, there is just something funny about big black women with that stereotypical "blattitude" getting angry and prancing around town as if they are some kind of supermodel. I actually laughed at quite a bit of this movie. If you are interested in watching this movie, try to go to a theater with a packed auditorium because that will make it even funnier. 3.5 out of 5 stars  |  IP: Logged Christopher Meredith Expert Film Handler Posts: 126 From: Jackson, MS, USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 02-14-2007 12:47 PM                        Title: Norbit Tag Line: "Have you ever made a really big mistake?"
