Murphy has a deplorable joke concerning a lost policeman's whistle for which there is no excuse whatever - other than it's very funny.

Stereotype-based comedy from Eddie Murphy in a variety of fat suits is just not enough to make a decent film.

Even if you go back decades, body fascism has rarely been so brazen, or so unfunny. Horrifying.

Three Eddie Murphys is three too many.

Murphy finally has nothing to prove in front of the camera, which makes his fondness for wearing extreme prosthetics to play multiple roles in a film bursting with cheap, obvious gags increasingly baffling.

It's offensively bad.

With the unbelievable advancements in makeup artistry and special practical effects, it's something of a wonder that the best use of it here is for a blubbery fat-suit.

A nonstop series of sloppily constructed comedy bits peopled with racist and misogynist caricatures.

Aug 03, 2012Gosh, this is awful, toilet humor was gross, playing on all the stereotypes was dumb. I don't care how many roles he plays, it just doesn't work. Painful to watch, it burns.Sylvester K Super Reviewer

Apr 23, 2012When I was in college, this film was playing in the student pub; I had nothing else better to do, so I watched it. Boy was that a bad choice. This film was poorly written, acted and directed with a bad cast. The result is one of the worst films that I have seen in recent memory. This is one of the most stupid comedies ever, and it's no wonder why Eddie Murphy's career is in such shambles. Norbit is a strained comedy right from the start. There's nothing funny about this film, in fact the only good thing about this film is the end credits. This is a painful comedy that I hated. The film suffers from a bad script, a poor cast and bad directing. There are no redeeming factors in this film. The film provides you with a waste of time, and there's nothing here that is fun, or entertaining. Norbit is an unfunny film that will depress you. This is simply put a comedy with no laughs or entertainment value whatsoever. Eddie Murphy is horrible on-screen, and this is by far one of the stupidest comedies I've seen. Norbit is a very forgettable film that doesn't deliver. The film is a pure waste of time from start to finish and shouldn't be watched by anyone looking for an effective comedy. Avoid this comedy; you'll be glad that you did. Eddie Murphy is a has been, and Norbit is proof to that. This is a film that is unwatchable, and definitely not worth your time.Alex r Super Reviewer
