Norbit

A meek orphan, Norbit Albert Rice, is raised by Chinese restaurateurs and grows up to be an unassuming and overweight man. He is engaged to the woman of his dreams, Kate Thomas, but his life takes a bizarre turn when he is forced to confront his overbearing, obese fiancée, Rasputia, and her two thuggish brothers. Norbit must find the courage to stand up to them and fight for his true love.

Norbit was a significant commercial success, grossing over $159 million worldwide, but it was almost universally panned by critics and audiences alike. It is widely considered to be one of the worst films of the 2000s and is frequently cited as an example of poor filmmaking.

• Eddie Murphy's multiple performances are seen as a desperate attempt to salvage a poorly written script.
• The humor is often considered crude, unfunny, and relies heavily on stereotypes.
• The film is criticized for its weak plot and over-the-top characters.

Google audience: Audiences found the humor to be tiresome and repetitive, with many expressing disappointment in Eddie Murphy's performance and the film's reliance on offensive stereotypes. While some acknowledged its entertainment value as a 'guilty pleasure' or for its slapstick, the overwhelming sentiment was negative.

Norbit received 8 Golden Raspberry Awards nominations, winning 3 including Worst Actor for Eddie Murphy (for his roles as Norbit, Mr. Wong, and Deez Nuts). It also won Favorite Movie at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.

Eddie Murphy portrayed all three main characters in the film: Norbit, Mr. Wong, and Rasputia. This required extensive prosthetics and makeup, with Murphy spending several hours each day in the makeup chair.
