Synopsis

Eddie Murphy's new movie Norbit raked in the big bucks at the box office last weekend, when it claimed the top money-making spot. Though Eddie Murphy gives it his all, Norbit's material is crass and largely unfunny.The portrayal of an overweight, bossy, mean black woman has many African-African women angry.

Norbit (Eddie Murphy) has never had it easy. As a baby, he was abandoned on the steps of a Chinese restaurant/orphanage and raised by Mr. Wong (Eddie Murphy). Things get worse when he’s forced into marriage by the mean, junk food-chugging queen, Rasputia (Eddie Murphy). Just when Norbit's hanging by his last thread, his childhood sweetheart, Kate (Thandie Newton), moves back to town. In the comedy "Norbit," he'll show them all that nice guys sometimes finish first.
