    Why don't people like this?

    I get some people just like this type of humor and that's fine. But if you're into crude humor this movie is absolutely hilarious. Yeah some jokes aged worse than others but still funny.

    The story is typical guy falls in love but something is in the way of it. The movie doesn't try more than what it is and makes work of what it could.

    Also there Eddie Murphy, Terry Crews, and Cat Williams. Who else do u need?

    A Hallmark movie this is NOT!

    This movie has a rating of 4.2 as of Nov, 2024. That's a disgrace.

    This movie shows off Eddie Murphy's genius. Period.

    I read a couple of the naysayers' reviews. Wow. What a bunch of prudes. This movie is genuinely funny, not like the crap in most other movies or Hallmark movies which I'm sure most of you who rated this poorly like. Shessshhh...

    No wonder Eddie took off for years. Good job, Prudes. You completely disgraced one of America's greatest comedians.

    Norbit has it all; COMEDY, physical comedy, honest comedy and is just all around fun.

    Stop lying about who you are, and what you find funny. Live life and watch the movie. It's genuinely funny!

    "How you doing?"

    Such an odd wonderful guilty pleasure that is not appreciated much but I enjoy it. Eddie Murphy did quite a few peculiar roles over his career I love that even not many do. I don't know how he plays several characters so well it's impressive! Great how much story driven Norbit is that's important sometimes especially to some people. The kind of movie you could say what the hell am I watching lol?

    At least 50% of the audience liked it.

    I went to see this film on my birthday with my friend Paul. There were low expectations from both of us and we came out pleasantly surprised. We were laughing throughout the movie and it turned out to be a good birthday for me.

    The other two people in the cinema were not as impressed but there's no accounting for taste.

    I honestly cannot understand why this film has been critically mauled. It doesn't pretend to be something it's not. It's a film aimed for laughs and it does exactly what it delivers.

    To fully appreciate and understand this film you need an enlightened and intelligent sense of humour to comprehend the genius film that is Norbit. People like Paul and I are just very rare.

    Too Funny

    I seriously liked this movie. It showed also that fat people can wear a bathing suit at the water park and do what skinny girl do as well no matter what. It showed that a skinny guy accepts a huge girl, as you can see in norbit, he saw as big at first and then they came to like each other somewhat. It is just humor, people are making big deals about the movie, but what about when he did the nutty professor, and so forth, how come no problems with that, I mean we have a Fat scientist in the lab and he got to a nice looking skinny girl, but there wasn't any parts in the movie stating that the nutty professor was toooooo fat and same thing with this movie, People need to get a grip and just relax it is only humor, We had Marlon in Little Man, no problems there right, and then we also had White chicks no problems there, so Black people need to chill out and relax, it is just a funny movie, nothing derogatory.

    • Trivia
      To play Rasputia, Eddie Murphy undergoes 2 to 3 hours of makeup and had to wear a "fat" suit that weighed 34 kilograms. The process was similar with playing Mr. Wong which took 2 to 2 1/2 hours with gloves and dentures.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 13 mins) Rasputia dissolves Kate's Potato Head doll in acid. Later, she finds the doll in the basement, only slightly damaged by the acid. It is unknown how this happened.
    • Quotes

      Mr. Wong: Remember, black people run very fast. But problem run faster.

      Norbit: ...That's kinda racist.

      Mr. Wong: Yes, Wong very racist. Don't like black. Don't like Jew either. But black and Jew love Chinese food. Go figure.
