Review: Norbit
From the trailer, it was as obvious as a solar eclipse on a clear and sunny day. It just couldn’t be funny. Pair Eddie Murphy with Eddie Murphy as a super-duper loser and a bitchy obnoxious fat lady. Maybe throw in a love cross-over just for cliche’s sake, because with just the lowest denominator humor you don’t have enough.
Sure we know the make-up, the fat suit and the characters Eddie can play, we’ve seen it all before. We even liked most of’m (The Nutty Professor, Coming to America). But with this latest installment, it’s like there’s literally a fat lady sitting on you. It’s kinda tough to sit through the whole movie.4-.
