Not too surprising. Admit it, it looks kinda funny.

It dosen't. If there is one genre that I'm rather tired of, it's the "fat suit" comedy. Granted, "Hannibal Rising" wasn't that good either, so the $30+ for "Norbit" is not surprising. At least people are still going to "Pan's Labyrinth"

Looks like Eddie will have 3 movies to make over 100 million. Dreamgirls, Shrek 3, and maybe Dreamgirls. Happy to see Dreamgirls still in the top ten after 2 monthes. That movie have some great Legs.

Ugh. Seriously, I'm all for going or movies that go for the fun-factor before anything else, but why are people wasting their time on movies like Norbit?

Oh happier news, I'm glad to see that Dreamgirls is continuing to shine and that people are still enjoying Pan's. I'm actually going to get to see the latter next week. I'm really excited about that!

she's so fat, she jumps into a pool and all the water gets splashed out of it! comedy gold! a fat person sits down on furniture, breaks it, then blames "shoddy workmanship"! she's so fat, the ground trembles! she can run through fences! hilarious! how do they come up with such trail-blazing, original material?! why hasn't anyone thought this up before?
